Yup this is my final logo. Using simple lines and shape. At first glance plp will know its a ice cream cone with a portion bite/chipped off. Since ben and jerry's target really young ppl, i've made the cone colourful.

Audio podcast assignment.

Assignment Brief:

Create an audio podcast that promotes your Facebook Group, Event or Cause. It should be between 30sec to 1min in length.

Your audio podcast should have at least 3 distinctly different types of audio. Eg. vocal recording, music, sound effects. This should not be too difficult as you probably know by now that Soundbooth allows you to easily change the quality of a sound. With a simple change of pitch and timing, a deep sultry voice can be transformed into a cartoonish voice.

Think of it as a radio spot or radio commercial. Jingle, radio drama, endorsements by people etc. Be creative!

Mixdown to mp3 and upload through zshare and link to your blog and facebook.

So this is the audio podcast assignment i have made. http://www.zshare.net/audio/6301287987424d82/

Google Map Assignment.

Assignment Brief:

So far, you have created 'something' using Facebook to generate buzz. You have used Twitter as an instant communication tool. You will also have a blog to track your progress and document your reflections.

Now, using Google Maps, create a personalized map that works with your 'something' from the Facebook assignment.

If your 'something' is an event, your map can simply be on the venue of the event, with interesting details added to it.

If your 'something' is a group, eg a tribute to Michael Jackson, then your map could be on his Neverland or venues where he had concerts or his last journey from his rented home to the hospital.

The final google map is due end of the block. But start working on your map now. You can always edit, add more info and enhance your map as we move along.

Here is the map i've done. It's basically the location of most Ben & Jerry's main outlets in singapore and its headquarters in Singapore.

This assignment took me quite sometime cause i really sucks at reading maps. But well after a long along time of exploring its actually quite easy to use. I located the Ben & Jerry's outlets and the mrt stations quite easily.

Blog Assignment.

Create a new blog for this assignment. No personal blog allowed. Which also means, use proper English.

You can create a new blog with blogger, wordpress or other free blog publishing tool.

This blog will serve as your reflective journal or daily progress report. Document your thoughts, problems faced with assignments, resolutions to the problems, new discoveries or anything that is related to Digital Media in the blog.

Link your Facebook and Twitter to your Blog.

Tweet, including a link to your blog post each time you make a new entry. That also means once you have created your new blog, tweet to let your classmates know your blog's url.

Throughout the block, read and comment on your peers' blog posts. Offer feedback, ask questions, add new ideas.

Eg. you are encouraged to leave brief comments like "nice project!" or "more photos!" or "luv the links!" Ask a question that you are generally curious about. Suggest a connection between the blog post you are commenting on and a blog post of your own and/or a blog post from another classmate. Give feedback, start a conversation, get some dialogue going.

The Blog will be evaluated at the end of the block.
