Evaluation

This is an evaluation on the past three activities I have done for my controlled assessment. Over all, I must say there were parts I struggled in and other parts I did well in. I will talk about the audience purpose and how I made everything suit my target audience.

My Logo:
The first activity I completed was essential, it was my Logo. The reason why I found it important is because it is mainly what attracts people to getting to know what your project/event/product is all about – without a good logo, I personally think it is very hard to attract people. I started off by sketching out the logo I wanted and what I had in mind.
I then was lucky enough an image I loved on google, it is a cartoon of a group of colourful children holding hands in a circle. I thought that really fit in with the theme of my event but my main concern was asking the artist for permission if whether I can use it or not. I then sent an email to him and was lucky enough to get a reply from him saying that I did not need permission to use it since he does it for a hobby, and even if I needed permission he said he would be happy enough to let me use it since it is for a good cause.
I then inserted the template/image and added a colourful title and slogan. My title is “Community Spirit” – the reason why I did not choose anything else is because I really did not want to complicate it as if it was named anything else, people would be confused and not really get the aim of the event.

I would say that my logo would mainly attract young adults and children, which is what I was really aiming for. As with all the colours and cartoons without a doubt it will attract their attention and make the event seem like something they would not want to miss. At first I thought the fact that my logo would only attract young adults would be a disadvantage but after thinking it through, I thought about how parents would encourage their children to spread awareness especially because this is all for a good cause. So after all, I would be gaining a wide age group in my event.
After getting feedback, I realized that the text in my Logo is too colourful and small which makes it hard to read for some people. If I can improve this, I would stick to one colour and not make it seem too crowded, I would also make the font slightly bigger so that everybody is able to read the text.

Managing my time was very important; I had to make sure I was not spending too much time on the logo so that I had enough time to finish the rest of my activity. In order to manage my time, I set myself a target to finish my logo in 30 minutes, which was enough time to plan and perfect my logo. The skills that were useful when it came to designing my logo is that I have had past experience with using photoshop so it was not really new to me, I knew how to use the program right away. If I was to improve my logo again, I would get the template in a better quality to be 100% sure it is not pixelated as it being pixelated can be a bit unprofessional. Overall, I would say my Logo is colourful and very eye catching and most importantly, it is very meaningful and relates to community spirit.

Tracklist:
Second of all, a huge part of planning my event was the track list. I think the track list is very important as it can affect the atmosphere of the event. As the music is a very essential part of events, I decided to sort out my track list wisely and actually choose songs that all people from all different age groups would enjoy and dance to. The thing I avoided most where songs that are rather ‘depressing’ and songs that can be a bad influence to the younger ones, that it mainly how I will make the track list suitable to my target audience. The feedback I got back from my teacher was that it was too unorganized and the playlist was not easy to use which causes a delay in finding the songs you want. After getting my feedback, I realized that the order of my track list is slightly disordered, as a solution I should use more queries in order to get the results I want easily instead of having to search through the entire track list. I strongly felt like the track list was the most activity that did not require too much time, for that reason, I set myself a target to finish the track list in 20 minutes. I would say I regret it as I felt it was too rushed and did not do everything the activity required. I would say the skill that helped me the most was picking the track list and the songs. I did not pick any random songs, I wanted the songs to suit the event and not be inappropriate. If I was to redo my track list, I would definitely add colours and colour code the tracklist in order to make it a lot easier for the DJ who will be controlling the music for my event, as without colour coding it would make him slow and it would take him more time to find the certain songs/music he needs.

Audio Clip:
Third of all was my audio clip (podcast), I personally think podcasts are important because it is a form of advertisement- I also think they are more effective than posters because they’re more interactive. I wanted something that sounded interesting and fun and relating to the event. I decided to use the band performing at my event ‘Cairokee’s’ song in the background, which is all about team spirit and freedom and how all people should unite as one and help each other. I thought it was a good decision to use it as it really relates to the term “Community Spirit”. In my podcast I talk about my event and the highlights it will include, the reason why I have done that is because I wanted to make my event seem like something different and something they would not want to miss out on.
At first the feedback I was getting was that I was talking without expression, but I luckily had time to improve it so I recorder my audio clip all over again and talked with expressions and made it seem like it was going to be an excited event. The expression of my voice sounded interesting and convincing, which was a huge advantage. Only thing I would improve about my podcast is its length as I feel it might have been too long for a podcast. Over all, I think my podcast suits my target audience because it is not boring to listen to and is very easy to understand, the pace of my voice was also good which is why its easy to understand.
I felt like the audio clip was very important and I would say it took me about an hour, which is a good amount of time, especially as I kept recording it over and over again until it sounded right. If I was to improve it again, I would make the background music a bit lower and my voice higher in order to make it as clear as possible and make it more possible for the audience to understand what is being said as if they do not, they will not understand the details of the event and the purpose.

Event Model
I personally found the community spirit event model the hardest part, when I first opened the template, I was very confused and thought it looked too packed and confusing.
I find the event models very important as it is the key to finding out the exact calculations and details about your event. I personally thought the event model was too packed with numbers and heavily lacked subtitles. As a solution, I created a new page for every event model in order to make it easier for the users who access. Instead of the user spending a lot of time looking for what they are after, instead they can check the pages below and they can easily calculate the profit and loss or they can check the pages below instead of having to get lost. After being checked by my test buddy, I realized that I needed colour coding as all the text was contrasting with everything. The advantage of colour coding is that it is easy to find what I have recorded. My teacher then said I lacked formulas, so as a solution- I used more query and got rid of the unnecessary information people do not need.
I had to make it easier in order to make it clear to those who are reading the event model like the event organizers and myself.
The feedback I got from my teacher was that the information was too packed and was not too easy understand.

Overall, I think I could have done better on my activities, yet I have had many strengths such as the audio clip, advertisement, etc.

...Knowledge Management Introduction This is a study seeking to explore knowledge management extensively, particularly the possible challenges that an employer may face when knowledge-based changes are made. Further, ways of addressing the difficulties are also discussed in depth. The paper illuminates on the entire concept of knowledge management using an employment context of International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), an organization that aims at alleviating rural poverty as well as improving nutrition. Knowledge is the new imperative strategy that many organisations are using to enhance growth and development. Knowledge is power, but most people think it is an advantage to keep it to oneself. This is an attitude most employees hold, with the idea that if they remain to be the only people with knowledge in regard to a particular aspect of the organisation, they will continue being an asset and forever remain relevant. The new paradigm in organisations that enhances growth is sharing of knowledge. Research shows that structures that have built a culture of sharing information among staff and management are more competitive and grow stronger. Knowledge management is entirely based on knowledge sharing (McInerney, et al., 2011, p. 23). Knowledge management involves planning, organizing, motivating and influencing employees, systems in the organization and other processes to improve knowledge-related assets and employ them effectively. Knowledge-related assets could...

Macbeth

...‘[Macbeth Aksar JanMacbeth Macbeth is a courageous Scottish general who is not naturally inclined to commit evil deeds. Yet he deeply desires power and advancement. He kills Duncan against his better judgment and afterwards stews in guilt and paranoia that there are others who will come next in heirs as he has no child to carry on the monach. Lady Macbeth, on the other hand, pursues her goals with greater determination, She spurs her husband mercilessly to kill Duncan and urges him to be strong in the murder's aftermath. But she is eventually driven to distraction by the effect of Macbeth's repeated bloodshed on her conscience. In each case, ambition-helped, of course, Prophecies of the witches is what drives the couple to ever more terrible atrocities. the problem, the play suggests, is the once decided to use violence to further one's quest for power, it is difficult to stop there are always potential threats to the throne. Quote 1 Third Witches: All hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter! (A1.S111.L 51) The witches prediction that Macbeth will become monarch and that Banquo's heirs will be future kings sets the plot in motion. Up until this point, Macbeth doesn't seem to have kingly aspiration. Banquo was strong minded and laughed off the witches, but the witches spoke in riddles to Macbeth and told him very little. They addressed him as an upcoming king. This intrudged Macbeth. As we’ll find out that Macbeth had already had evil aspirations in his head. ...

Mis - Case Study of Shop Ko

...“ShopKo and Pamida: Systems Triumph or Tragedy?” An Information Systems Case (Laudon & Laudon, 9th Ed. Website) ShopKo, a regional discount merchandise retail chain headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has about 140 stores in larger Midwestern cities, and 221 Pamida stores serving rural areas in the Midwest, Mountain, and Pacific Northwest regions. ShopKo focuses on popular higher-margin categories such as casual apparel, health and beauty items, and housewares. Sales totaled $3.18 billion for the fiscal year ending in January 2005, and the company was recently acquired by a private company affiliate of Goldner, Hawn, & Morrison Inc. ShopKo has been an intensive user of applications to improve decision making about inventory levels, sales performance, store layout, and selection of merchandise. One of its most powerful tools has been a system to determine prices and timing of apparel markdowns. Traditionally companies that sell apparel have four product cycles a year, one for each of the seasons. However such companies now face serious competition from companies like Gap that now operate on rapidly changing product cycles, often bringing in new product lines every two to four weeks. One of the growing problems ShopKo had to address was what to do with the excess (or overstocked) merchandise when a cycle ends. At the end of a season (or cycle), companies have faced two problems. One is the need to empty its shelves in time for the arrival of the new cycle products (bathing...

Civil War and the Glorious Revolution

...the Tudor dynasty was ended and the Stuarts (Catholic dynasty started by James I) began to rule. * The Stuarts believed in the 'divine right of kings' - ie, the God ordained that the King is supreme, and is thus 'above the law'. This plunged England into civil war. * The civil war seen as a 3 way dispute by the lawyers. The Parliament, the King and the common law were all vying for ultimate power. * Eventually, Charles I lost the struggle and was executed in 1649. * The civil war and the ideas that rose up during it led to constitutional change in England and development of lots of ideas that influenced the colonies like Australia. The king versus the common law In 1598 (before he was King of England), James I wrote The Trew Law of Free Monarchies, setting out the divine right of Kings. * He was supported in this idea by the attorney-general, Francis Bacon. * Bacon argued that that according to natural law, only absolute monarchy could avoid 'confusion and dissolution'. This theory was based on the natural law theory that law is based on reason and the will of the Crown. * According to Bacon, the King could govern by prerogative alone – parliamentary powers allowed only by tolerance of the King – he could dismiss or convene Parliament as he saw fit. * The power not to be dismissed without its consent was what Parliament really wanted – and only force through the civil war gave them that. * James I: “Kings are justly called Gods, for that they...

Marine Wildlife

...increase of the travel experience and the desire for new adventures, alternative forms of tourism have been blooming. Having been recognized as one the pillars for economic growth the tourism sector has shown the capability to adjust to the changing market conditions. Trends such as product development and diversification, the development of cheaper and faster access to new destination areas, the increased levels of ‘green awareness’ and the search for more sustainable alternatives to mass tourism resulted in the tendency of people to travel to more remote destinations. More environmentally conscious forms of tourism are therefore flourishing and the tendency towards shorter but more frequent trips permitted the rise in domestic tourism rates (Trew and Cockerell 2002). As according to the Tourism Alliance (2012) in fact, it has been possible to highlight that in 2011 the inbound tourism revenue grew at over 5 times the rate of the economy as a whole, while it has been reported that domestic tourism revenue ended the year 2011 at 14% higher rates than 2010 (Tourism Alliance 2012). 2.0 The Growth of Marine and Wildlife tourism While many established resorts and destinations remain popular, holidays “off the beaten track”, or of special interest, are indeed capturing an increasing share of the market.

The Media

...The media Anne O’Keeffe Historical overview of media discourse ‘The media’ is a very broad term, encompassing print and broadcast genres, that is anything from newspaper to chat show and, latterly, much more besides, as new media emerge in line with technological leaps. The study of ‘the media’ comes under the remit of media studies from perspectives such as their production and consumption, as well as their aesthetic form. The academic area of media studies cuts across a number of disciplines including communication, sociology, political science, cultural studies, philosophy and rhetoric, to name but a handful. Meanwhile, the object of study, ‘the media’, is an ever-changing and ever-growing entity. The study of ‘the media’ also comes under the radar of applied linguistics because at the core of these media is language, communication and the making of meaning, which is obviously of great interest to linguists. As Fairclough (1995a: 2) points out, the substantively linguistic and discoursal nature of the power of the media is a strong argument for analysing the mass media linguistically. Central to the connection between media studies and studies of the language used in the media (media discourse studies) is the importance placed on ideology. A major force behind the study of ideology in the media is Stuart Hall (see, for example, Hall 1973, 1977, 1980, 1982). Hall (1982), in his influential paper, notes that the study of media (or ‘mass communication’) has had...

Design Liability

...Design Responsibility under Design and Construct Contracts: Some issues for Principals Introduction There are a number of reasons design and construct (D&C) contracts are attractive to principals and lenders. There is a single point of responsibility for both design and construction aspects of the project, the principal is able to fast track the project although not all aspects of the construction are complete, there is greater certainty of price and the contractor is involved from the earliest stage in planning design and programming. In consequence, the principal will need to accept a higher price for the contractor to take on this additional risk compared to more traditional construct only contracts. This paper will identify some issues for principals to consider when allocating design responsibility to contractors within a D&C project. These issues arise as the design and construct process involves a fundamental conflict of interest. Principals desire to have constructed a product of the best quality for the lowest possibly price. The contractor on the other hand is more likely to make a higher profit if the product is of a lower quality (and therefore cost) and a higher price (as opposed to costs). In addition, although a greater proportion of design risk is placed on the contractor, this passing of risk is often accompanied by the abrogation of responsibility and loss of control. The paper will refer to the approaches of 3 standard form contracts -...

Laws1001 Notes

...Summary Australian law is based on the culture of English law. The following characteristics derive from the English background of our law: * A system of representative democracy, using parliaments to make laws. See chapters 7 & 8. * A legal profession divided formally or informally into solicitors and barristers. See chapter 3. * A ‘common law’ system: * The system of law derived from the English legal system. Uses judicially decided cases as the basic form of law. See chapter 10. * The way that the law is made: Judges make law based on decided cases (precedents) and develop sets of legal principles which emerge from the judgments in decided cases.’ See chapter 12, 13, and 14. * The category of laws which grew from the medieval royal courts (‘the courts of common law’) and other areas of law, which came from the medieval Lord Chancellor’s role (‘equity’). See chapter 10. * Decision making in courts after an adversarial trial: derived from historical ‘trial by battle’ introduced by Normans. The battle has since then become a verbal one. See chapter 2. * A court system for dispute resolution: See chapter 11. However, Australian law has developed distinct characteristics of its own: * A federal system made up of a Commonwealth and States and Territories: separates out the powers of different bodies of government. See chapter 8. * A limited recognition of indigenous customary law: Mabo (No 2) held that native title to land could...
