At this stage, we were mainly researching and looking for ideas. Eventually we thought of designing a drinking game named Trash'T.
For the logo, we decided to use skull and bones. We wanted to give the impression that the game will leave you wasted. The design of the board is black and silver. Its dark but eye catching. ]]> 2018-11-12 11:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188934 Three Methods for Encouraging Creativity s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188936 Walking - Helps refresh the mind, allows new ideas to come in.
Brainstorming - Brings out loads of ideas at once, gives plenty to work with.
Showering - The most random thoughts come in the shower, perfect for fresh thoughts.]]> 2018-11-12 11:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188936 More Aims for TrashT s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188937 Another target to reach for next time would be to improve the board. Making it bigger so more cards/cups can fit on would be a start. Also making it more decorative so it stands out and looks appealing. EVEN though most things are more appealing drunk anyway.]]> 2018-11-12 11:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188937 Aims for next time? (TrashT) s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188938 The aim for next time will be to create more cards to play with. Unfortunately due to limited time, I was not able to produce many cards. With more to play with, its not as repetitive and it will also allow the game to run longer. Which means you can get more drunk.]]> 2018-11-12 11:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188938 What is TrashT? s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188939 TrashT is the latest drinking board game. The objective is simple, get smashed! The idea of the game is to take it in turns picking a card and following the instructions. Failing to do so, results in drinking from the 'Death Cup'. Play in teams or on your own to face the ultimate new drinking game. Below is a picture of the board game we designed.;]]> 2018-11-12 11:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188939 TrashT s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188940 In Class, the task was to design and create a Board game. In groups, we researched and put our own creative thinking into coming up with a drinking game called TrashT.]]> 2018-11-12 11:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188940 Evidence (Cloudz) s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188941 I got Pounds in ma Pocket, but Mills on My Mind,

Imma shoot up Like a Rocket, there’s no Stopping the Thrills, I’m Alive,

Spirit High, in the Sky, Comes a dark Night and I’ll Light you up with the Twinkle in my Eyes,

I sprinkle these Lines,

I’m sinful at Night, Sitting Iced-Out to keep Ma-Cool, Grab-the-Jewels, you can Pack them in Ma Satch-U-el, don’t Act-the-Fool, I’ll Slap You Back to School,

I Laugh till I Drool, Drop the Tool, or I’ll Spit this Gasoline through my Teeth, over Youu,

(Cloudz) s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188942 My biggest aim is to start getting songs properly produced and released onto music apps such as Soundcloud and YouTube. However I am in no rush for this stage as I want the tracks to be as good as possible before they get released.]]> 2018-11-12 11:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188942 Aims for next time? (Cloudz) s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188943 Next time I plan on studying the dictionary so I am able to expand my vocabulary. With more vocab, I have more words to play with to make up a song. This will also help me create patterns for my own rhyming schemes. As well as this, I want to improve my freestyling skills. I have already begun practicing how to maintain and switch flow. Artists who have inspired me are Juicewrld and Eminem. I aim to be able to freestlye for atleast an hour by the end of 2019. ]]> 2018-11-12 11:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188943 How did I think creatively? (Cloudz) s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188944 Firstly I have to clear my mind so I am in a fresh working state. Walking, eating and drinking can all help bring new ideas to the table. Taste buds can spark memories and feelings, so it can be useful for inspiration. As well as this driving around brings fresh inspiration to think about. Then I brain-storm all ideas on one page and combine them together in different rhyme scheme patterns. After I have a rough template to work with, I will go back over the lyrics and change them to increase the word play and effectiveness.]]> 2018-11-12 11:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188944 How am I creative? s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188945 I create rap styled lyrics to make songs. My Tag is Cloudz. As well as this, at college I have started designing a board game name 'Trash'T']]> 2018-11-12 11:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/303188945 Weeks 1-4 s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/307743562 Outside of class I started writing a new song. For this I used inspiration from Nights out. I started by brainstorming key words and events. Unexpectedly, ideas for bars would come to me late at night whilst laying in bed. Straight away I would type them down in my phone notes and save them. I was both impressed and frustrated throughout writing. This is because sometimes I'd amaze myself with clever, catchy lines, but othertimes id get stuck and wouldn't know where to go next. Positive company and environment is good for influencing the creativity. However the opposite is very distracting and hard to focus. For example, after a few drinks with my mates, my mind explodes with ideas and I cant get them down quick enough.

We were given a task to construct the tallest tower out of marshmello and spaghetti. Although Jess is the team leader, I gave the first initial idea on how to structure the tower. With good communication and teamwork, the task was a success.]]> 2018-11-29 10:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/309199282 JAT Air - The Airline s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/309290553 In groups, we were told to design an Airline and Pitch. Within this we have to include a variety of parts to cover.
For example, Brand, Logo, Advertisement, Song, Cabin Crew uniform and general decoration.
I started designing the script and backing track for our budget airline. We chose Gary Barlow's 'Let Me Go' because of its catchy, relatable chorus. 'Fly High'. Over this, I added a few of my own lyrics to stand out.
'We're almost there, in the Air,
Grab our Wings, We'll take Care,
Welcome to JAT-Air, Where problems stay Elsewhere,
Sky's will Clear, We Compare,
You come First, Lets fly like Birds.']]> 2018-11-29 14:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/309290553 Humberside Airport s0264801 https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/315098519 We visited Humberside Airport in relation to the Airline Task. This allowed us to look around the site, get a feel for how things work, and how they work together. We were able to look inside a couple of different sized planes. This gave us a rough idea for what size plane we would need for our airline. As we specialize in targeting businessmen, we chose the bigger style. This allows plenty of room for customers, which means more comfort and technology.]]> 2018-12-17 10:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/s0264801/fyytypuqdf52/wish/315098519
