Representing Myself

I listened to what a classmate have to say about MyRepresentation and I was surprised as to how much “mind-reading” was expected from looking at my 1 slide presentation. By adding a starting point focus point I can improve the accuracy of what was interpreted by the symbols and picture. This bring the question as to why research in human processing and cognitive processing is so important in today’s world (esp in advertising) where everybody wants your split-second attention for message delivery. There is a science of camoflage (I had a Professor who was a researcher into the psychology of “hidding” in my undergraduate years) and advertising – we can can learn to improve our deception practices or attention seeking in the visual world.

I have interest in cross-cultural communication where we need to understand the readers’ background for interpretation.

“I will get the job done” (position 1)

“I will get the job done” (position 2)

Changing position of “I will get the job done” (1 or 2) may give different meanings to readers. Good to have feedback on Myrepresention for improvement. Tell me what you see first ….. power of feedback before changes can be incorporated.
