Jean Mooney came to talk to us about the marketing side of the commission project. She talked about where to go if we need printing budgets, information or questions answering.
She also talked about what the colleges design on their products look like at the moment. For example the colour scheme representing the college, the layout on the products.
She said you have to make sure the design really appeals to your target audience. She also said that you have to get the message across that it is a student focused college and that the students are the main aim of everything they do.

Emma Kelly asked what we all were doing in detail, how much the products would cost to make. Also she talked about the general marketing of Penwith college. She came to talk to us around january/ february time I think. She asked us if there was anything we needed from her and ifthere was we could email her whenever we like asking questions. She helped me out buy sending links to a few websites that about our kind of budgets.

I think we all had to work together and all ask questions so we were effective particapators and teamworkers.
