Alcohol Crack-down

Hello Guies ,

This is a video i just saw on CNN which very much relates to the video we showed in our presentation today. The UK government is planning to increase the price of alcohol to discourage consumers , MAYBE another concern for a startup business like WOU.

Chaffey - Chapter 4

Here is the extra slide I have added so far which has some stuff from chapter of Chaffey's book. I haven't gone in to too much detail as we only have 10 minutes so hopefully I got the main stuff in there. Anyone else got anything to add?

Microsoft Imagine Cup

I've been thinking about entering this, for some of the stuff you need teams. If you actually win this you'll pretty much be set with a job as soon as you finish, but you have to produce something pretty spectacular! I've already registered and I'm trying to figure out what section to enter for, but it's hard to think of groundbreaking ideas!


IMAGINE CUP

Presentation Update - Presentation has been emailed!

Hi guys, luckily it was saved, just on my external hard drive so here it is. It's not 100% finished, more like 97%! I still need to do a references page.

Aghogo, for one of your slides there is a video i put in, it's an NHS advert that talks about alcohol units which I thought it would be good to slot in and add a bit of... sparkle, to our presentation. It's basically set up so that you mention the negative image of alcohol (from the mind map), then the video fades in, click it to play (its not very long) then it fades back into the mind map where you can talk about the remaining points on the government stalk of the mindmap. If you wanna do it another way or even delete the video its cool but i just thought I'd add something different. It won't play for you because it's on my hard drive at the moment, for the final presentation it will be on the same USB stick so there wont be a problem. However, if you want to see the video here is the link: CLICK ME!!

Kun, I've done a basic conclusion and contents page, but if you want to add anything else to it to summarise it better then that's fine.

Alice, in your section you will notice that there is one slide with a lot of tiny writing on it. There is also writing in red throughout. DO NOT PANIC! The writing in red is the notes that I have made, and is what the speaker should say to supplement the slides, so once a note has been made of them I will delete them from the slide. Once the red bits are deleted, the font size of the writing can be increased as there is more room for the words on the page, so that should be fine.

Es.

Chaffey's book - Presentation

Hi guys I just checked my email and Dr. Pachon reminded us that we should relate some of the stuff from Chaffey's book to our presentation. I should hopefully be getting my copy tomorrow if Amazon hasn't messed anything up but maybe some of you could have a flick through? I'm just sorting out our slides now, we shouldn't have too much left to do!
