the final word

I was really dubious concerning the project at the beginning because I’m not so good at computing! I didn’t know how to make a blog, and more generally, I didn’t know what a blog was. But I really enjoyed doing this exercise. Of course, I have learnt a lot when we started to send images from Flickr, and the Survey Monkey too. Using www.blogger.com was a really good experience because I was able to put some information on the web.
I had difficulties concerning the time. Indeed, we had to check every week the comments, to insert posts, and It was sometimes difficult to be regular. Moreover, I had ideas when I started to work on my subject. However, I think I should have taken an other topic, more funny to my mind.
I think it could be more interesting to make the blog with a non-marketing theme. Indeed, people could be more regular and creative for their project. Otherwise, I think I will continue my blog or an another one to share with my friends.

Survey concerning fast food consumption

I would like to bring you some informations concerning fast food consumption. I realized a survey with 54 persons who responded in 9 questions.
Look for the analyse of the most interesant questions:

How many times do you go to the fast foods?
2 by a week 5.6%
1 by a week 24.1%
1 per month 37%
1 every two months 22.2%
1 by a year 9.3%

Do you go there with...
your friends 87%
nobody (alone)9.3%

Which are the 3 significant qualities for this type of restauration for you?
the speed 85.2%
the price 55.6%
the simplicity 46.3%
the user-friendliness 31.5%
the quality 22.2%

Could a concept of healthier rapid restoration be appropriate to you?
yes 94.4%
no 5.6%

--> finally, we can observe that most of the interrogations we could have concerning the evolution of a certain dependence of fast foods is not so bad we could imagine. Indeed, most of people showed their interest to a new concept of the creation of healthier fast foods. In this case, maybe the publicity could be more appropriated for children who could have a better image of the food and especially of the mean to combine health and food...

do you want to watch a piece of film?

I would like to show you how the publicity is good when it prevents parents for the dangers of certain things like cigarets. Indeed, it's not very healthy to smoke near the children, and they could be dependent with these way of life.

Children when they are older...
...are influenced by brands of alcohol they have seen on tv! They associate parties and alcohol. It's why it's necessary to pay attention to our children.
