 A man drove up
in front of the house in a gray Mercedes. The door was open quickly and the man
ran out, but he did not find what he looked for so he went back to the car and
left. Suddenly I heard a scream and ran towards the screaming. On the ground, I
saw a man lying. His shoes were taken off and put neat and tidy beside him. The

Info layout 2011-10-20

Idag på Info & Layout jobbade vi med FE och vår affärsplan. Vi delade återigen upp uppgifterna inom gruppen, Alexander M skrev om företagets visioner, Simon Z skrev angående vår försäljning samt marknadsföring, Filip P skrev om företagets ekonomi och Yohannes H skrev om företagets verksamhet. Alla hann skriva klart sina delar och nu jobbar vi tillsammans med likviditetsbudgeten och resultatbudgeten. På fredag under FE lektionen siktar vi in oss på att vara klara med allt så att vi tillsammans kan läsa igenom affärsplanen och finslipa den. Vi skall även arbeta med affärsplanens layout och detta går hand i hand med kursen Info & Layout. Vi försöker få en stilren layout som ser professionell ut. Layouten på ett dokument kan höja dokumentet och fånga läsarens öga. Arbetet med likviditetsbudgeten och resultatbudgeten kräver en del arbete med Excel och detta verktyg är något som man ta del utav i kursen Info & Layout. När man vet hur Excel fungerar förenklar det för gruppen då vi ska göra resultatbudgeten och likviditetsbudgeten. Excel är ett verktyg som används väldigt ofta utav ekonomer som vi alla inom gruppen hoppas utbildas oss till i framtiden.

Analysis off my presentation

Three positive points

·         My speech was very easy to follow because I repeated sometimes where I was in the presentation and then the audience had easier to follow my presentation.

·         My presentation flowed on and I didn’t get a blackout and my PowerPoint was very clear.

·         I spoke loud and had a good eye contact with the audience.

 

Three things that I can improve

·         I can talk without having to look down into my papers 3-4 times as I did on the presentation.

·         I can speak in different volume levels so the audience will be more interested.

-         I can do something in the beginning that makes the audience becomes completely fascinated and want to know more.

Info layout A 2011-20-13

Idag har vi i gruppen tillsammans jobbat med Affärsplanen till vårt fiktiva företag. Vi har diskuterat vilka typer av diagram och tabeller vi skulle välja och sedan bearbetat dom. Vi har skrivit ner utförligt varför vi valde dessa diagram och vad fördelarna var. Allt detta för att affärsplanen ska bli så tydlig och enkel som möjligt. Senare jobbade vi med våran logga till vårt företag och diskuterade fram och tillbaka hur den skulle se ut och till slut kom vi överens. Vi har även hunnit med att skriva om hur marknaden ser ut, vilka kunder vi riktar oss mot och hur marknadsundersökningen gick till och vilka slutsatser vi kunde dra av den. Vi har lärt oss hur man tänker kring logotyper vilket kan vara viktigt i framtiden om vi själva skulle göra egna företag t.ex. Vi vet nu också vilka olika diagram och tabeller man ska använda i olika situationer som kan vara till stor nytta i mattematiken och framöver i livet. Nästa steg är att börja fundera på våran redovisning som vi ska ha fredag vecka 43 samt att gruppen ska kolla igenom det vi gjort hitills och förbättra det som hittils varit otydligt om det nu finns.

Information och layout A

Senaste tiden har engelskan legat i centrum av pluggandet. Där har mest tid legat på att få fram en fin och tydlig powerpoint som ska fånga åhörarnas uppmärksamthet. Det jag lärt mig hittills i information och layout har varit till stor hjälp i presentationen till engelskan. Innan jag började med info & layout detta året hade jag inte koll på hur en power point ska vara men nu vet jag, inte mycket text och tydligt ska den vara. Det som också är viktigt för att förtydliga redovisningar är att innehållet i presentationen ska vara så kort som möjligt och bara innehålla viktigt information. Idag på lektionen har jag även filat ännu mer på min powerpoint till redovisningen nästa vecka i engelskan eftersom jag hade glömt några små delar som kan vara viktiga. Allt för att det ska bli så tydligt som möjligt och lätt att hänga med i presentationen.
Peace out

Bruno Mars “Grenade”

Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live

Oh take, take, take it all, but you never give

Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss

Had your eyes wide open

Why were they open?


Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash

You tossed it in the trash, you did

To give me all your love is all I ever asked

cause what you don't understand


Is I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah yeah)

Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah yeah)

I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah yeah)

You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah yeah)


Oh-oh I'd go through all this pain

Take a bullet straight through my brain

Yes I would die for ya baby, but you won't do the same..

No, no, no, no-oh


Black, black, black and blue beat me till I'm numb

Tell the devil I said hey when you get back to where you're from

Mad woman, bad woman that's just what you are, yeah

You smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car

 

Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash

You tossed it in the trash, yes you did

To give me all your love

Is all I ever asked cause what you don't understand


Is I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah yeah)

Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah yeah)

I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah yeah)

You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah yeah)


Oh-oh I'd go through all this pain

Take a bullet straight through my brain

Yes I would die for ya baby, but you won't do the same..

 

If my body was on fire

Ooh you'd watch me burn down in flames

You said you loved me you're a liar

Cause you never ever, ever did baby

 

But darlin' I'd still catch a grenade for ya

Throw my hand on a blade for ya

I'd jump in front of a train for ya

You know I'd do anything for ya


Oh-oh I would go through all this pain, yeah

Take a bullet straight through my brain

Yes I would die for ya baby, but you won't do the same..

 

No you won't do the same

You wouldn't do the same Ooh

You'd never do the same

No no no no-oh.
