No Mill Road Tescos

Today Tom Woodcock; Secretary of the Cambridge District Trades Union Council, spoke about some of the many campaigns he has been involved with and the one that interested me the most was No Mill Road Tescos. 

The Campaign was about a Tescos being built down road. Mill Road is a multi-cultural Road with many inspirations from different countries and religions. Many people who are living or support the campaign idea went around to find as many people to support their view that there should be no Tescos down Mill Road, They got nearly five thousands signatures on a petition to support the campaign. The campaigners put so much effort into trying to stop this from happening to Mill Roads small businesses, They few things they did succeed in was making sure tescos use no large lorries to import goods and they were to use small vans due to the large lorries blocking the narrow Mill Road. Also they made sure Tescos didn't sell any alcohol due to the reasons as some other businesses arent aloud a liscence so why should Tescos.

 

Here is some more information i copied from, http://www.nomillroadtesco.org/

Tesco's 14th store in the Cambridge area is in Mill Road, Cambridge, one of Cambridge’s most cosmopolitan areas. The No Mill Road Tesco Campaign was set up to oppose these plans, and kept Mill Road Tesco-free for almost two years. Over 5,000 people signed our on-street petition and 1,000 objected to its planning applications. Tesco lost 3 planning applications, an alcohol license application and a public enquiry, leaving it with one of its smallest stores in the UK that it will have extreme difficulty in delivering to. The opening of the store brings the campaign into a second phase: ever-more active support for local traders, and making sure that any breach of planning condition or public safety results in Council action.

homework

Design one
I think that everyone should be getting EMA despite what their parents are earning, this will give teenagers an incentive to attend college and do well. It would improve my life because then i could go out more outside of college time and it would give me more experience with managing money.

Design two
I think that the uk should create a service where they ship condoms to africa, this would both decrease the spread of aids and it would also make it easiar for them to manage the population. this is important as overpopulaion is a big problem in africa.

Design three
my next campaign would be free hugs. the t-shirt would promote the craze thats currenttly spreading across the world. it could come in different styles for guys and girls.

banksy

Banksy is a english anonymous graffiti artist who is known to be from around bristol area and the age of 35 years of age. Banksy has a good sense of humour as his art work shows around various places in the UK. Banksy mostly uses black white and a variety of grey colours. Sometimes he will use other colours to make the art work look more effective and have certin parts in colour that stand out more.

Condoms for africa

The video is about a condom as a living thing, trying to find a way to get to africa to help stop the spread of STDs and aids. The video has a good sense of humour and makes the video more appealing to viewers to watch as the character in the video is a talkative condom. 

I want everyone to have EMA

I choose this topic because i think that everyone should be getting EMA, Its unfair to give someone EMA and not another. All because of their parents income, The parents income shouldn't be controlling and younger perso

ns choice to receive EMA. The graph below show the ages of people who disagree and people who agree with 'Everyone getting EMA"

Creative Media Logo

Analysis of 2 Designs

From Threadless.com

This t-shirt costs $12 From Threadles.com.

 

This t-shirt is from the same website for $18.

The first t-shirt has a simpler design and less of a design then the second image, Hence why the cost of the second t-shirt is a lot more money to buy because there is more detail on the t-shirt.

BabyCakes Clothing

The top image is the final result of my presentation on my t-shirt i choose; Babycakes. The second image is the rough version of my presentation. To create the final image i copied images from google and pasted them onto the photoshop image, i then added some text items to make it more effective.

T-shirt history

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the T-Shirt quickly became an American favorite. Now, a century later, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the T-Shirt remains as popular as ever.The T-shirt evolved from undergarments used in the 19th century. T-shirts became popular though the united states,These were a crew-necked, short-sleeved, white cotton undershirt to be worn under a uniform.

The American T-Shirt began during WWI when American troops noticed European soldiers wearing a comfortable and lightweight cotton undershirt during the hot and humid European summer days. Compared to the wool uniforms that the American soldiers wore, these undershirts were cooler and more comfortable and they quickly caught on with the Americans. Due to their simple design, these shirts became known in the USA as "T" shirts or, as we know them now, "T-Shirts".

By the 1920's, "T-Shirt" had become an official word in the American English language with it's inclusion in Merriam-Webster's Dictionary. By W.W. II, both the Navy and the Army had included the T-Shirt as standard issue underwear.
