Visual note taking on chapters - 11/10/2022

Visual note taking on chapters

Daisy Jackson / 11/10/2022

To carry on with my visual note taking, I chose key chapters to create illustrations and general ideas on. I chose particular chapters as some focused more on what I wanted to visualise.

This as well as having the movie to assist me, I am slowly generating more ideas on what I want to create as well as the intended end result.

Chapter 2:


Again, I love the idea of word play and experimenting with quotes from the book/film. In this case, 'earn his keep' was something I was drawn to as this determined what would happen to Joey. This was a very emotional chapter for both Albert and Joey as they both worked together as a team to plough the fields despite everyone not thinking it was possible.

Chapter 3:


During this chapter, Albert and Joey's relationship strengthened. However, Albert's father needed the money to save his family and the farm. As a result, he took Joey from the stables without Albert knowing. As well as this, the fields that were ploughed in chapter 2 were pointless as the weather ruined the crops. This prevented them from selling them and earning enough money to pay the landlord back what they owed.

Chapter 4:


At this point the war had started. Albert's father sold Joey in town for £40 to a soldier. This was an important chapter as in this chapter, Albert and Joey were seperated. I remember Albert's father saying to the mother that they needed the money, in response she said 'it's not what you did, it's how you did it' and this line has stuck out to me. Albert even offered himself to join the army despite being too young. This shows how powerful their relationship is as Albert was willing to risk his life just to be with Joey and leave everything behind.

Chapter 7:


I chose this chapter to look at as it shows the development of Joey and Topthorn's relationship. They made it through the summer as a result of Joey's bravery. If it wasn't for Joey, they both could have been killed as they were marked as useless by the German's. That is, until they proved that they could help around the camp and actually pull cannons etc.

Reflecting on the winter fair - 12/12/2022

Reflecting on the winter fair Daisy Jackson / 12/12/2022 Reflecting upon the Winter fair, I would say it went better than expected. At the end of the day I did make sales which was nice as well as the interactions I had with customers/people. Everyone was extremely friendly and I did not feel nervous. I think the layout of my stall went really well and everything was nicely organised. I was really happy with how it all turned out. I think if I was to make improvements for next time or if I could go back in time and change things I would definitely reduce the amount of stock I made as I lost out on a lot of profit. I know this is not the point but it would be nice to break even or make more than I spent. However, the experience of it was really great and definitely insightful. I have never done anything like this before so it was really fun and interesting.  I think I did a great job promoting myself and my brand so I am happy with that. Overall, I think my approach to this module h...

Creating a series of designs - 28/10/2022

Creating a series of designs Daisy Jackson / 28/10/2022 This week I set myself the ongoing task of creating designs and bringing my ideas to life.  I will more than likely spend next week (or half of next week) doing the same thing as I want the perfect designs to communicate Warhorse the story in my own way. Here are my designs: I really love this design as it communicates Warhorse in a unique way. It is a fun midpoint design where it references Warhorse but can also just be a general shirt for people to wear and enjoy. From my survey I noticed that a large amount of individuals were not familiar with the story or Warhorse at all, so creating a mid-way shirt would be great to generate sales but also reference Warhorse. The second image was a try out for a different design for the deck chair. I decided to go with the top one as this made the design less complicated and not too overcrowded. Perhaps a development point I could create for this design would be adding money floating aro...
