The author created an advertisement using an image of Winnie the Pooh but found Piglet was also in the image. They moved Piglet so he was not visible and added an IRN BRU can and slogan using quotes from Pooh. They thought the cans on flowers looked silly but the ad was bland without them. The author thinks they need to improve their editing skills or find an image they can do more with, such as a comic strip.

1. Mini Evaluation

2. What went well?
I managed to find a suitable picture of
Pooh Bear, although Piglet was in the
picture but I moved the image so that he
wasn’t visible. Doing this also gave me
free space to place the IRN BRU can and
the slogan for this advert. I think I used
the wording well as I looked up quotes
from Pooh and changed some of the
words to make it suitable for IRN BRU.
What didn’t go so well?
I think the cans on the flowers look a bit
silly but when I take them away the
advert looks quite bland and lacking in
anything to do with IRN BRU.
What could be improved?
I think I may need to work on my editing
skills or maybe pick an image that I can
do more with. I could try and work with
some type of comic strip.

3. What went well?
I am happy with how I have manipulated this comic strip to fit in with IRN BRU and make it into
a suitable advert. I have changed the colour of the battery life to orange, which is one of the
colours of IRN BRU. I have also added an additional thought bubble in the second to last frame
which changes the story a little bit because the IRN BRU can is replacing Garfield’s teddy. I have
also used tools such as clone stamp and rotoscoping to add an IRN BRU can to the last frame
where Garfield is cuddling the can. I chose this comic strip because I thought the general idea
was the most suitable as
it includes batteries and
“recharging” which all
links in with the energy
boost that IRN BRU 32 is
meant to give you.
What didn’t go so well?
I think that I could of
possibly found a way to
make the IRN BRU can
in the last frame look a
bit more like it fits in
with the comic because
it is really obvious that I
have just stuck it on
there and it doesn’t look
as professional.
