DIVINATION CLUB: Term XXII, Activity 2 - Teabags & Testimonials

[anbyrobanby.livejournal.com]

You are trying to do an assignment about tea leaf readings, but as everybody has come up with the same idea, you notice the school supplies are running dangerously low. You instead have to settle for nettle tea. A friend, who is busy with Potions homework- asks you what it tastes like, and is curious if any of the nettle properties have made their way into the prediction. Intrigued with this idea, you thumb through an old copy of the Daily Prophet, and find an advertisement for unusual brands of tea. Tempted, you go to the Owlery to order a set to your common room.


Activity: Teabags & Testimonies
Points: 10pts for opening submission; 2 points for responses.
Deadline: 30th January @ 11:59PM UTC.
Details: The tea leaves have run out! The brand we usually use is out of stock, so we're going to buy some more. Design the packaging to a new box of tea for 10pts, and for 2pts add testimonials from satisfied customers.


Here's the rundown:

Please design an eye-catching packaging for a new brand of tea. It can be any sort of tea, regular, herbal, fruit, fusion, wizarding, whatever you please!

10 points for doing so. Please make sure the graphic isn't more than 800px in combined dimension.

Freel free to make more than one if you enjoy this, but you'll only get the 10pts once.

Following on, other people please reply with short testimonies about how this brand of tea is the best you've ever tasted, and how it's way superior to whatever you drank before!

These don't have to be very long, and will be worth 2 points apiece. Fifty words (ish) should cover it. You may only hit a max of 20 pts for this part, so to hit the cap of 30 for this activity, you need to do both.

We want to be buying the best brand of tea on the market, so make sure these testimonies really motivate our shoppers to convert to it for keepsies! Satisfied customers are always a good indicator of a product, not matter how.... flowery their descriptions might become.

That's the bare bones of it. If you'd like to make something more detailed and magic-based, that's awesome, too (what would tea with an infusion of dried unicorn blood be like, for example?) Feel free to use any resources you like.... or just go for things that sound tasty. It's all good. :D


Usual reminder about the Roster: there's no grace periods with this, so make sure you're on it! The roster is below.

Also, I'll be starting up a nice thread that offers resources, should anyone wish to use them. These can be anything you like- bases, inspiration from real packaging, even ingredient combinations, or magical properties thereof. I figured it may be useful, though of course there won't be points from it. :)

That's it! Have fun! The results of the 2012 Predictions will be up later today or tomorrow. :)

_{The future will look bleak if you forget to sign the ROSTER!}

A perfect pick-me-up and ideal for lovers of more stronger tastes. It is of the rarer variety, and very difficult to find because whilst it lends the drinker surprisingly strength and dexterity, more than one cup a day causes acerbic tendencies in the consumer. It's worth the price however, and I recommend it to anyone in Slytherin who enjoys the more avant-garde varieties.

I will definitely recommend this tea to anyone who wants something to spice up their days. It's got a fantastic flavor that's subtle but catches you off-guard suddenly. I swear, it stops you in your tracks and petrifies you with a sudden burst of delicious basilisk juice. Definitely give this tea a try; you won't regret it!

Exhilarating! The perfect blend for the adventurous tea drinker. With ever sip a kin to taking your life into your hands, this blend is not for the faint of heart. However, its rare convergence of flavors will appeal to those people with the most discerning palates. I use it to choose my friends!

This tea has a bite to it! The blend of crisp, sharp flavours is perfect for a morning on the go or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. It keeps you feeling sharp and wide awake. Recommended for those who are busy or stressed and want to add a little zing to their day.

Finally, a tea for those of us who think Firewhiskey is bland! I thought I was doomed to be forever bored by all beverages until I found this magical blend.
