As Required for my course, i have been asked to create a blog, stating our weekly sessions and discussing what i have learned.


My first week of understanding the customer consisted of expressive activities, with a discussion on perception skills. Two book cover were presented to use with the name and author removed. This allowed use to think freely on what we thought each book was about. With many ideas and suggestion flying around, we believed the two books to be complete opposites. And in fact were one in the same! The publisher had simply change the front cover over time to advertise to different audiences. This shows that a book truly should NOT be judged by its cover!
Upon experiencing the book cover challenge, another task was set for us to put our perception skills to the test. The egg challenge was to have a large A3 sheet each, and fill the page with a shape, any shape we could think of and fill the shape with answers to the questions being read out. Such as,
Age
Favourite colour
Religion
Colour of eyes
Siblings
Fears
Nationality etc.

All of these questions could be answered with a picture or a just words, the choice was ours! Once completed, papers were swapped and the perceptions on whos were whose began…
Here is my drawing and the perception on what they believed me to be.



As you can see im a very outgoing and scruffy person, yet the person, who was fortunate enough to have my egg to study, was very accurate with her perceptions of me!

Thus concluding that from a few word or pictures about a person’s fears or fantasies can be revealed from another person’s perception skill.
