Semester 2 Assignment 1

After taking a test to reveal my learning style my results showed that i was a moderate activist and reflector and a very low theorist and pragmatist.

This means that theoretically i like to be involved in new experiences and i am enthusiastic about new ideas (Activist) and i like to view the situation from different perspectives, i like to collect data, review and think carefully before coming to any conclusions and enjoy observing others and will listen to their views before offering my own (Reflector).

I agree with the results that i got although i would say i think i'm more of a reflector despite scoring the same for both.

Everything stated within the reflector column i agree with, the activist column however there are only a few things i would say are true.

I would also say i am quite a theorist despite the test not showing this.

Aftter doing the test form myself i then had to guess what results people in my group would get and surprisingly we all guessed the same results for each person;

Kirsty Turpie - Activist
Fiona Harper - Theorist/Pragmatist
Lynsey Hutchison - Activist
Leanne Evans - Theorsit
Gary Gourlay - Activist/Pragmatist

My group also correctly identified me as a reflector.

The dominant mode of my team is activists and theorists.

I admire thats activist like to be thrown in at the deep end and work well in this way and that theorist are perfectionist, how reflectors take time to reserve and review and pragmatist are eager to try things out.

our group is quite varied so i don't think major adjustments wiil need to be made however ther are a few activists how might need to learn to take on other roles.

Black Swan






I really like these posters which have been designed for the new film Black Swan directed by Darren Aronofsky.

Future Advertising

Billboards generally consist of a flat poster advertising a certain product or sometimes you see the billboards which flick through several advertisements but now JC Decaux are working to create more innovative advertising campaigns.

These include touch-sensitive "intelligent" tables at Heathrow terminal 5, which allow the user to interact with the advertisement using touch, "thermal campaigns" which alter the advert depending on the current weather conditions and also interactive show screens in bus shelters.


"Yell.com brought its search facility to UK locations via interactive showscreens in bus shelters to demonstrate the breadth of local expertise and information that it offers."
