Moving forward after making military and know your classmate poster. The next poster is the "INTERACTIVE POSTER" by taking forward military where public can interact with the poster and to understand the assence of it. In this Poster the four of us - Manas, Pragya, Yashika stated how each and everyone can be hero of there own story. To understand that you can see the TAG line

"BE THE HERO OF YOUR OWN STORY"

It simplifies the story of a person in different stages. From childhood to adult, being a normal to Military person. Also we have used Principles of Design that is FIGURE AND GROUND to show adult to being a military man. Using a Mirror to show yourself as a HERO because its the main element using for interaction. By putting LED light in borders to show depth and focus to the poster.

Thankyou :)

Blog #6: Pitching Preparation

This week was our Midterm exam week. Due to this reason, me and my groupmates didn’t meet personally to discuss about the progress of our work, but rather, we have done it through our group chat. In there, we have decided that instead of having Lemuel to be the one who will perform and represent our group for pitching, we picked Hannah and Claire. So, it was finalized then that Hannah and Claire would perform pitching, while me and Lemuel were assigned to make our pitch deck and so with the script or content of what Hannah and Claire supposed to deliver.

Upon making the pitch deck, we have realized that when making one, you should have all the information needed and of course, you should study every detail of them. We find it hard on the part when we are to present the estimated amount needed for the project to make possible. It is maybe because we haven’t find the right or suitable machine that will help us in producing our product. According to our research, there isn’t an existing machine available in the Philippines who can produce a product the same thing as what we are studying on. Technically, the machine is our main problem for this study. My sixth blog might just end here for we still have to get ready for our pitching next week. See yah!

New Idea

On the 3rd week of January we where so busy because of our midterm examination going on so we do not have the time to meet up as much as think of a new idea for the product proposal. It was really not easy to change product as well as think of a new product to present. Even our previous idea was not easy to come up with but as difficult as it is we still need to think of a new one. So after our midterm examination we have agreed and decide to meet for the remaking of our product presentation.

As for our previous product which is the admixture of plastic and wood it was not easy to make them and if we really do make them it will cause us a lot of money and we also do not have resources to which plant we will be making this. As we go over our meeting and further discussion was done we have come up of the foldable table as our next product proposal. As we all know we as a student needs table to study especially we need a quite place to do so. In this case we are not able to just go someplace where because it’s not convenient going around holding a table on hand. So for the convenience of the student we have come up with the foldable table.

Me as a student myself needed a table like this. So our target market for this are the students. To make this product we will be further discussing this in the next meeting because we still haven’t informed our instructor about the change of product.

Biswalisasyon at Sinematisasyong Pilipino: Kultura ng Kolonyal na Pag-iisip, Masokismo, at Eskapismo

Sa pag-usbong ng teknolohikal na pag-unlad, ang digitalisasyon ng iba’t ibang suliranin ng lipunang Pilipino ay naging isang rebolusunaryong gampanin ng teknolohiya ng kapitalismo. Manapa, ang iba’t ibang moda ng komunikasyon tulad ng tradisyunal na media (na kinabibilangan ng dyaryo, telebisyon at radyo) hanggang sa makabagong mga uri ng media (tulad ng internet at napakaraming social media platforms) na naging bunga nito ay malaki rin ang naging epekto sa kasalukuyang kulturang Pilipino. Sa kabilang banda, ang mga sine at mga pelikula bilang sikat at pinakatinatangi-tanging broadcast medium na ayon kay Tiongson, ay palihim na naging subersibo at mapaminsala sa kabila ng huwad na gilas at kintab sa larangan. Kung ang popular na media, na maisisipi kay Lumbera, ay tunay na nagtataglay ng kapangyarihan, ang sine ay maihahalintulad sa simbahan, at mga palabas nito bilang pinakapopular sa larangan ng broadcast media ay maituturing na panginoon. Isa sa mga patunay ng mga deduksyong ito’y karamihan sa mga Pilipino sa kasalukuyan ay naghihinuha ng kanilang mga values o pagpapahalaga sa mga pelikula na kanilang pinapanood; na kung sa ayaw man o sa gusto ng mga tao’y sa mga pagpapahalagang kanilang napupulot sa mga pananaw rito ang humuhubog at naghuhulma sa isip at mga kaisipan nila. Kung ating susuriin, kahit magbalik-tanaw pa man di’y sa kasaysayan ng media at pelikulang Pilipino, maiuugat ang lahat ng pagpapahagalang ito sa mga negatibong pamana ng kolonyal na yugto ng lipunang Pilipino, na kung saan ay pinatitibay na ang pundasyon ng kolonyal na pag-iisip, sa pamamagitan ng mga “institusyonalisado at lehitomong” mga pamamaraan tulad ng media at edukasyon.

 Sa akdang “Si Kristo, Ronnie Poe at iba pang ‘idolo”’ ni Nicanor Tiongson, kanyang ibinigay at inilarawan ang iba’t ibang negatibong pagpapahalagang ating ipinananatili sa larangan ng mga pelikula at palabas sa sine (maging sa telebisyon at iba pang moda ng komunikasyon).

(1) Una na rito ang ating maraya at hindi pantay na pagtitimbang ng estetikong “ganda”, na sumasalamin sa ating ideyalistikong pamantayang nakabase sa kanluraning imaheng itinanim bilang esensyal na elemento ng pundasyong kolonyal na pag-iisip. Talagang maraya ang ganitong pagtatangi sapagkat kapansin-pansin ang kaibahan sa panlabas na anyo ng isang Pilipino ang mestiso at maputing Europeo, gayundin ang matangkad at balingkinitan na Amerikano.  Higit na malinaw na ang estetikang kolonyal na ipinakikita sa mga pelikula sa kasalukuyan ay binigyang-daan ng estetikang namayagpag noong panahon ng kolonyalisasyon ng Espanyol at Amerikano.

(2) Pangalawa, sa pamamagitan ng Aliw ay nabibigyan ng mediasyon at takasan mga Pilipino upang mawalan ng rason na harapin ang suliranin ng “tunay na buhay”. Dahil mayroong baryason ng iba’t ibang genre ang aliw na naihahain ng mga pelikula tulad ng drama, action, comedy, atbp., naisasalamin ng mga manonood ang alinmang suliraning kanilang kinahaharap sa tunay na buhay. Nang dahil sa ang mga palabas na ito ay nagkakaroon ng pantastiko at madalas ay hindi makatotohanang resolba, maaaring hindi na magnais ang mga ito na lutasin ang kanilang “tunay na problema” sapagkat nakamtan na nila tagumpay, kahit sa palabas lamang.

(3) Ikatlo, ay ang paghalaw ng pagpapahalagang ang mga bayani ay talagang sa una’y dapat na inaapi, na mabuti ang inaalipusta sapagkat sa dulo nama’y tiyak magpupunyagi. Sa pamamagitan nito’y natututuhang maging pasibo at matiisin ng mga tao sa lahat ng dagok nang walang pag-aatubiling tanggapin na lamang ang mga ito. Sa kabila ng kawalang-hustisya at karapatan ay nananatiling nakakimi ang mga ito sapagkat nakabinhi na ang galak sa bawat pagdaranas, sa pag-aasam na mayroong magbabago sa hinaharap, sa kabila ng pasibong disposisyon. Maiuugat ang mga ito mula sa komedya o pasyon ng mga Kastila na nagpapakita ng paghihirap ni Kristo, sa mga drama at stage play ng mga Amerikano na binibidahan ng mahihinhin at mahiyaing puti na inaalipusta ng mga kamag-anakan o ‘di kaya’y maging ng tadhana.

  Sa mga pagpapahalaga o values na ito na binaybay at sinuri ni Tiongson, kanyang ipinakita ang tatlong subersibong pundasyong tumbas ng mga pagpapahalagang ito sa larangan ng biswalisasyon at sinematisasyong Pilipino—ang kultura ng kolonyal na pag-iisip, eskapismo at masokismo. Ito ang naging bunga ng manipulasyon sa makapangyarihang popular na kultura, ang destabilisasyon ng media at pagpapahalagang Pilipino. Sa patuloy na pamamayagpag ng ganitong mga pelikula na naghuhulas ng mapaminsalang implikasyon sa lipunan, patuloy rin magiging atrasado at kaisipan ng karamihan sa mga Pilipinong kinamulatan ang ganitong uri ng mga palabas, laluna ang mga tumatangkilik dito. At sa proliferasyon ng ganitong subersibong kultura ng  broadcast at popular media ay tiyak ang paurong o regresibong paglago ng mga tao.

Getting things done.

This would be the continuation for my blog last tuesday (feb. 7,2017) that was our midterm for technopreneurship. So as we pitch on that day, what our instructor told us to do for the next week presentation is to have a presentation that would let the audience recognize our concept, which is the same with those large scales companies that uses Recylcing Paper system. Then for this week, our presentation would be the mechanism of our Recyper.

Along the way, when having our techno class last wednesday (feb.8,2017), our instructor postponed the presentation and discuss about the “lean canvass”. Giving us more idea on how we are going to conceptualize deeper on our Recyper System. Our instructor give us more tips on how we are going to have a “plan” for our start-up. So as we go throughout on the discussion, Lean Canvass is like a calendar chart, that is composed of 1) Problem -this would be your costumer’s top 3 problems, 2) Customer Segments - this would be the costumers and users of your start-up, 3) Unique Value Proposition- this would be a convincing message that turns unaware visitor into an interested prospect,   4)Solution- of course every problem must always have a solution, 5) Channels- you should list your path to costumers, 6) Revenue streams - this would be your sources of revenue 7) Cost Structure - you should determine what would be your fixed cost and variable costs, 8) Key Metrics - this would be able to guide if you have key numbers so that it could tell you how your business is doing, 9) Unfair Advantage - you should be guided to something that can’t be easily copied or bought. So this would be the tips that would help us atleast to finish our start-up in our course.

After that, our instructor also give as an assignment using this tips, so that on the next meeting, we would be able to present our calendar chart and also the results of our concept about how it works of small scale Recycle Paper System.
