Reflection

I think that by attending this course it has helped me improve my knowledge of media and how digital media works. It has shown me that there are many routes that digital media can go down and that the possibilities are endless. The media is created by people for people and by having a place where Web 2.0 is common and possible it means that both the internet and the media can never stop evolving because people are constantly adding and changing parts to it. So I think through doing this course and assignment it has shown me how to understand that and potentially predict where the media is going.

In this assignment I have been taught how to use theory in my work to my advantage and how it can alter the viewers thoughts by subconsciously appealing to parts of the mind that receive and digest images. The main part that I found interesting and exciting was learning about Gestalt theory and way our minds are programmed and how companies use those tactics taught by the Gestalt theory in everyday media and we don't even notice it.

I think overall this course has helped me understand the human mind and how media effects it and our daily lives.
