What is PR (Public Relations)

The meaning of public relations is how people see a brand, company or person. PR mostly focuses on the reputation aspect of a brand or company. PR can be used to mitigate something negative that happened whether it was a post on social media or an action a company did that hurt its reputation with its consumers. Essentially, PR attempts to present the brand or company in a sort of positive image no matter what horrid things it might have done in the past

3 takeaways I took

1. There is no exact path to becoming a PR. One of the people in the meeting mentioned that they became a PR from writing in a newspaper for their High School. Another mentioned that they became a PR from being in a Communications job at a former company before it got absorbed into another.

2. It's extremely different from Advertising. As previously mentioned, PR does not focus on selling a product or service, but rather it simply focuses on the reputation of a brand/company

3. There are many different paths a career in PR could take. A PR can focus on just Finances which can help a Company as it can draw more investors to put their money in to fund the company and therefore grow its image in the industry

I'm not too sure if I want to embark on a journey being a PR as I may not have the appropriate social skills in order to actually be a PR

Data Visualization at the Designing Peace Exhibition

What is the goal of data visualization? The main goal of Data visualization is to present an idea, in a way that is easy to grasp and understand. Data visualization is supposed to be a creative way to present data, such as showing data for poverty as shopping carts Conflict's Root Causes Description This exhibition is supposed to display the man-made objects sent to various points in space such as Earth's orbits, the moon, and even Mars. The purpose of this illustration is to show us how much space exploration we have done ever since the space race between the USSR and the USA back in the 1960s, this information is supposed to be easily digestible, otherwise we would've had a boring dotted graph.
