Team Project

Since our group (Dunder Mifflin) has been working on the YMCA project it has been my great pleasure to have worked with, and gotten to know my team members; they are Garrett, Rob and Steven. We have had to modify our original ideas since we have first started and the group has came up with some great ideas. I would say that this has been the best thing about the group, the creativity. There have been a number of challenges form getting speedy responses from the client to deciding on how to design the layout and for me the technology gap. These have been overcome though and we have, or I feel, done well. Our group has gotten along well and this has been a learning experience for me that will carry over into the future. Overall I have enjoyed it and look forward to the final presentation.

Dual Coding

Its really amazing how we as humans remember things and after the class on dual coding I haven't forgot the ideas behind it. This was the first time that I was exposed to the ideas of memory retention and dual coding. This does make sence though and especially when last semester, I had to remember over 500 plant names of which most had two or three names. The Nike advertisement does a nice job of tying the atmosphere to their product. However I think that this would apply mostly to those who play a sport rather than those who merely wear the products in a noncompetitive environment. Those who play a sport and are involved in a gym or locker room can easily identify with this environment.
