COM 443: A Reflection for Advertising #1



Of all times when I decide to update my blog again, it coincides with the timing that I have to blog about my thoughts with regards to my current advertising class. So here goes...

Well, first I have to say that this is definately one of the toughest courses i have taken since studying in UB, but its good because then i get actual hands-on experience on what the world of advertising (and perhaps the corporate world for that matter) holds for me.

Good fortune has shined on me so far with group members who are not only intelligent, but are complimentary in ways that make the group whole, and most importantly, good group dynamics. This is important i guess in making a team successful, a good and balanced cohesive team. Although my professor has said something enlightening...that a group that is too agreeable is not exactly a good thing...Anyway, my advertising group and I would like to present to you...Spatiality! Every space is our specialty!

Unfortunately,with the good, comes the bad. And so in order to ensure that we have a comprehensive theoretical knowledge, my dear professor has thrown us with 3 exams, with the first one juz a couple of hours away...and 7 chps at that...good luck to us all..

Perhaps it's because i am now in this course, I am looking out more for interesting ads that might prove to be an inspiration or idea(I will be careful not to plagarise...), and there are really some good ads around, as well as some flops. Looking forward to comparing some of the ads which we students have submitted earlier last week, I really want to see for myself if my evaluation skills for ads is anywhere near decent...

Until the next reflection...
