This talk helped me understand my impacts as an advertising and brand student on how perceptions of meanings can be altered from my designs. Our thoughts are shaped on the semantics behind designs - a significant example of this would be symbols and signs. We know when to stop at a traffic light as we associate red with danger and green with safety.

-

Furthermore, the talk also helped me understand how visual communication changes our way of thinking. Adding onto the idea of signs / symbols - we are able to recognise meanings and entire concepts without verbal language involved. We are able to fully communicate through visual design.

-

These lessons are significant for my role as an advertising and brand student and my future in the media industry. It's helped me realise the impact that my work will have on shaping consumers thoughts and perceptions.]]> 2022-02-28 00:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/hgolden8/m1mgref0ez2lc9kt/wish/2068594410 hgolden8 https://padlet.com/hgolden8/m1mgref0ez2lc9kt/wish/2068599223 THE FUTURE LABORATORY

This talk demonstrated to me how vital it is as advertisers that we adapt our designs based on changes to consumers behaviour and attitudes. Adapting designs / communication based on these changes is how we stay connected to consumers and create relevant, meaningful impacts on communities and consumerism. 

-

In addition to this, the talk also gave me insight into efficient strategies that The Future Laboratory use to observe change such as STEEP factor analysis.

Using this method, we can also predict future changes to consumers attitudes and behaviours.]]> 2022-02-28 00:46:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hgolden8/m1mgref0ez2lc9kt/wish/2068599223 hgolden8 https://padlet.com/hgolden8/m1mgref0ez2lc9kt/wish/2068607456 Trend Forecasting

This talk highlighted to me how important it is to adapt as designers into the new and emerging digital age. The digital age continues to progress at a rapid rate and this talk emphasised that progression using facts and figures from studies into the changes of consumers behaviours from analogue to digital materials.

-

Although many of the statistics shown in this talk demonstrated how widely popular digital formats are in the modern age, it also revealed how it is not yet time to dismiss old practices. For example, it was revealed that more than half of consumers were more satisfied with how the COVID-19 pandemic was reported in physical printed newspapers as apposed to online sources.

-

Despite the odd example of this, it was clear in this talk that digital formatting far exceeds the success of its analogue predecessor. 

-

The talk further amplified how significant these digital practices are changing the design industry, as statistics from the lecture showed a dramatic change in how many consumers were switching to digital from print in recent years.

-

This talk helped give me a crucial understanding in what to expect as an advertiser going into the design/media industry and how adapting to digital formatting is essential.]]> 2022-02-28 00:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hgolden8/m1mgref0ez2lc9kt/wish/2068607456
