I have just returned home for Christmas. The practical part of this project was handed in on Thursday – in time for the deadline. It is now time to commence on the report writing. It is necessary to refer to the PowerPoint I completed in Dragon’s Den style.
I looked at the different sections included here, and intertwined this into my research and former knowledge into report writing and compiled at contents list which, at this initial stage, included the following: List of Tables and Figures, Abbreviations, Product, Price, Place, Promotion, People and Persuasion. When researching into formatting a report I came across a section for inclusion entitled acknowledgements.
It is from here that I was inspired to include Collin Williamson, for accompanying me around his plastic factory, and Sarah, Mike and Laura from Wedge Wellies for helping me realize the weaknesses in my product and helping me overcome them. Research also taught me that the front page of a report (the title page) is very important for setting the tone of the report and thus should not be overcrowded.
It did however suggest that a company logo could be included. This inspired me with regards to my ‘creative format’ I considered that I could write this report from the perspective of a company. It was up to me to decide whether this would be an official from Topshop, a Glastonbury festival representative, or somebody from a creative agency.
What next?
I must continue my report writing. I will utilize the holidays wisely, paying particular attention to the desired writing style as well as the topic, reading behind the subject. Future blog updates will contain information about books that I have read.
