Receiving Lancabot and Formulating a Plan of Action

Yesterday I received Lancabot in the post – this was so exciting for me to finally see my character brought to life. However, I soon began to realise the urgency which surrounded this situation in ensuring Lancabot was recognised as a valid part of my final campaign.

I therefore contacted the LEP, who agreed that they would run a story on Lancabot and arranged a photo shoot for him this coming Monday at 4.30pm. This was great as it ensured that I would have access to some photographs of Lancabot to use within my report. I have also booked the photography studio for 5pm on the Friday; therefore I will use this and take pictures of Lancabot in action. I will make a collection of these for my portfolio, whilst also putting some of the most inspiring photographs on my final board.

This will be fairly time consuming, as my lecture on Monday requires me to spend a couple of hours working on the format and layout of my final board. I have presently placed the forms of promotion which I have completed, or nearly completed on this. However, I am aware that I will have to go back to these and make amendments.
I feel that the best way forwards is to continue working on the promotion and the placement of this on the board on Sunday and Monday, and that by the end of day Monday, I should be in the right place to make amendments to these promotions, ensuring that they are to the highest standard, quality and finish by submission on the Wednesday.

Submission day is very close, and although the thought of this is absolutely petrifying, I feel that I am at the correct pace and am pleased that I have already placed a lot of the promotion of the board, and that I am content with this. I am also pleased that Lancabot has arrived in time, and now must start working on the photo shoot for him.

My 'To Do List' by the end of today is:
Web portal blog
Story book and puppets
Badges and Stickers

Once these have been completed I am satisfied that I will be at the correct pace for submission on Thursday. I will show Paz the layout of my boards on Monday and see if he agrees that everything is to a good scale and that nothing dominates. If possible, I will get this printed on A2 size paper, so that I can see if any of the art work is pixilated, and this will put my mind at rest. This will also allow me to see if the placement of items is correct, or whether there is too much blank space / some areas are too over-crowded.
