    Today, I decided to take it easy and go for a walk. According to Rolljack.com, taking a break to calm down and recharge your brain. I went for a short walk whilst listening to a great song from a game I picked up recently called Persona 3: Reload. For those who want to know what I was listening to it's called Iwatodai dorm, this is because this song only plays when your in the Iwatodai dorms. Anyway, after my walk, I was able to think more clearly and began thinking about the DND style game I'm making for my friend Matthew, I talked about it before in a previous blog. This time, however, I began think more on the games story, specifically, events that will transpire in the near future. For example, I need a way for Matthew to meet a new main villain that he needs to get stronger in order to defeat. So I decided to have Matthew get kidnapped by one of Malideus's minions so he could be experimented on. After a few battles against some lower level opponents, Malideus himself will challenge Matthew (I do plan on having Matthew lose this fight for plot). After losing the fight Matthew will find a way to escape the facility and train to become strong enough to beat this new threat to the world.

    So this week we learned about personas in marketing. Now, when I think of a persona, I think of those things from the game series Persona. However, personas in marketing are kind of like imaginary characters that a company creates to get a better understanding of their customers. By imagining our customers in this way we can better appeal to their interests and habits allowing us to better market to them. When making a person you have to consider many factors. For example, what type of personality does the person have, what hobbies/ things does the persona like doing, what type of media does the persona use most often, etc. By learning these things, we will also learn how to best advertise to the persona and, by extension, the actual customers. All in all, a couple of personas can really help a business optimally advertise to their target audience and customers.

Magazine ads

Magazine ads      This first ad uses icons like the PlayStation controller as well as the Switch to show what consoles the esports team uses. I also used the Smash bros and Overwatch logos to help me with this as well.  The next 2 are the same ad are of a library. The reason they are the same is because one is resized to be a full-sized page and quarter page. This ad is also for esports team again I used game play from the latest Fortnite season I used the blue background to compliment the blue text and whilst it didn't come out very visible, that fine because the ESPORTS letters in white came out super visible which was my true goal.

Designing the experience

Image
 Touchpoints     My restaurant, Cafe of Hope, has some unique touchpoints not seen in very many other restaurants. The first one that comes to mind are the employees. This is because the gimmick of the restaurant shapes each experience with an employee into a unique roleplay game. I created this touchpoint because I see as a fun, little game that can be played by both the customer and employee. Next, would be the tables themselves and anime poster around the restaurant. I created this touchpoint because they would be promoting not only the anime's represented by the restaurant but also the restaurant itself.  There are a few other obvious touchpoint like the restaurant business card and any tableware that we might want to put our brand on like the bottoms of plates.

  Horror Movie Poster Project     Below is the poster I made for a fictional horror movie called "Horror Island". The "cast" include my cousin, Isaiah, our friend, Joseph, and my 2 brothers, Eddie and Nick.

Little did they know, this island is filled with horrible monsters that want them dead. Legends say not even the mightiest soldiers can survive a week.
