Journal #12

This week we are working on our "How does Advertising Effect Us?" projects that we will eventually be presenting to the whole school:|. Anyway, my group decided to do Product Recognition, which is basically how companies use symbols and logos that will stay with us and eventually become instantly recognisable. And then we are doing a part that is kind of what we know (like product logos) vs. What we should know (like presidents, provincial flags, etc.). Anyway, this project is opening my eyes to how much the media and advertising does affect me, because I know more big logos and companies than i do about m,y own country:|. Hopefully with this project in some way we can help raise awareness about what advertisers are doing to us, so maybe we can awaken that unconscious part of our brain that allows this to happen. Anyway, I don't want to give too much away, but I think it will be a pretty successful project.   :)
