Our assigned area for the media observation task was Fed Square.

- The big screen

A quick reflection:
Media is everywhere!! It was predominantly advertising which isn’t shocking but it was interesting to really notice just how much advertising (and media generally) we are exposed to on a regular basis. It took a bit of time to actually notice what is and isn’t media because normally it’s just part of the scenery. Also it was really hard to make this post including all the photos and videos.
