Re-Branding 'Corn Flakes'

Corn Cannolis


Have you ever felt tired of eating the same old Corn Flakes over and over again, without satisfying your taste buds or stomach? Well have no fear, CORN CANNOLIS are here! Corn Cannolis are a new way to start off your day with better taste, bigger crunch, and nicer shapes, than the original Corn Flakes. It all started one morning when my friend and I were eating 'Corn Flakes', we noticed that one of the flakes, wasn't a flake.... and it was in the shape of a cannoli! So we decided to come up with a new cereal for Kelloggs, called "Corn Cannolis". 

Our target audience for this particular product are mainly Italians because they LOVE cannolis, but anyone in general of all ages who are in love with this delicacy are welcomed to try Corn Cannolis. Since cannolis are rather big, we decided to make miniture versions of cannolis so that they can even fit in kids' mouths. 

Our slogan for Corn Cannolis is "There's only one thing in the world that I want, and that is... CORN CANNOLIS!

The logo includes the traditional Cornelius the Rooster,  thinking of Corn Cannolis. As well as a big bowl of Corn Cannoli cereal and also including a special; there is chocolate filling inside the box to pour on top of your cereal to get that whole cannoli experience! Lastly, everything is on a white box as usual.

Personal Reflection (Blogging Topic #4)




1.     I don’t think hurtful or derogatory words should be removed or replaced from the novel because without out these words, the story wouldn't be the same. For instance, why would you name a book with the “N” word and not use it in the story, to me it just doesn't make any sense. When the author uses the hurtful/derogatory words I feel like I'm actually there witnessing the story right before my eyes.

2.     The novel isn't relevant in today’s society, but it was in the early 1900's. When segregation was in command, the blacks were treated like slaves, as opposed to the white people. The African American people that were treated differently from the white thought that they were being humiliated and treated as second-hand citizens, because they we told to work and take care after the whites.

3.     I personally think that reading a fiction story that captures some/most of the historical lessons is much better than reading an old boring history book. The reason I say this is because when reading a fiction story, the reader is generally engaged in the book and will continue to read to find out what happens, but if we're reading a boring history textbook, we would probably HATE reading a couple of pages because the information doesn't excite us as it does in the story.
