Feedback and Response from Target Audience: Hazel, 23 : It's powerful, it's moving and it's made me rethink everything I do online. I wonder how it could progress as a campaign - perhaps more type and information would be useful but I totally get why you've not done that.

This week we're looking at how we pick and choose ideas for self-initiated projects and running with these ideas to really create something we want to produce; not something that's been dictated or formed from external parameters. We need to consider our project aim, the target audience and assess the appropriate media to communicate our… Continue reading Week 1 – Research
