...experience great hardships. Two poems that depict the Australian outback and country lifestyle are “Clancy of the Overflow” by Banjo Paterson and “The Shearers Wife” by Louis Esson, which portray alternate views. The poem “Clancy of the Overflow” glorifies the country lifestyle while diminishing the city way of life. On the other hand, “The Shearers Wife” depicts country life as lonely while also illustrating the Australian women as hard working. Both poets utilise a range of language choices and poetic techniques to shape the audience’s perception of the Australian outback and the country lifestyle. “Clancy of the Overflow” represents the Australian country lifestyle...

...tool for raising awareness and as a catalyst in promoting a favourable destination image to potential tourists (Lertputtarak, 2012). The image of a destination can be enhanced by the success of an event (Baloglu & McCleary, 1999). In the words of “Lawson & Baud Bovy (1977), the concept of destination image is defined as the expression of all objective knowledge, prejudices, imagination and emotional thoughts of an individual or group about a particular location” (Dominique & Lopes, 2011, p. 307). Additionally, “other authors define the image as the sum of all beliefs, ideas and impressions that people associate with a destination (Crompton, 1979; Kotler, Haider & Rein, 1993)” (Dominique & Lopes, 2011, p. 307). This paper discusses the impact of events on destination image enhancement. Destination image is formed from several sources of information. Event information sources are the forces which influence the forming of perceptions and evaluations of a region’s characteristics. It will be argued, using the specific example of the ‘Exit’ event staged in 2000, that public exposure through extensive media coverage and word of mouth communications are the main elements that contribute to a positive destination image. Furthermore, it will be demonstrated how hosting events present an opportunity for marketers, as part of their strategy, to help position their destination and enhance their global image. As illustrated by the ‘Mardi Gras’ event staged in Sydney, Australia. By their size...

...In the image "Going to the Olympics,1984" by Frank Romero, I see that his image is very creative because he put so much effort in the color. In this image I see five cars and above each car there is a heart. In top of the image it seems like theres a dark side and the bottom of the image theres a good side to it because it has blue and bright colors, and on top theres dark red and orange like fire. In my opinion the hearts are the symbol of this because each heart has the color of the top and bottom image. I think this means that there is a good and bad side to this world not everything is perfect and not everything is worst, theres always a positive and a negative side. Based on the image of Romeo he might feel that are city's car culture was each from the 1900's because the cars look like the ones from back...

...authorities and semi-autonomous agencies in the regeneration of inner city areas is to create an environment such that the private sector will return and invest in the zone.” These investments have to be made on the attractions and the improvements of the environment in general should be included in the plans. The investments have to be spread on old museums, exhibition centres, theatres and new technology. Most of the cities that have undertaken a regeneration strategy have used flagship projects which were aiming at boosting the image of the city. Harbour and waterfronts became the focus of very huge amount of regeneration because they have instantly something which may attract visitors. They sometimes have walkways and activities around them. Newcastle Gateshead has ensured that their regeneration is centred on these areas by having waterfronts regenerated following the footsteps of Birmingham with Leeds to follow suit. Newcastle Gateshead ensures also that they have iconic buildings and attractions like the angel of the north which is an iconic symbol for the city. On the physical settings of Newcastle Gateshead, it is really important as the city needs to have great cultural facilities with a huge hospitality industry with hotels and tourist information centres. With all these factors present, the city has something to sell. If these elements are not present, then they have to be created, which is having the city generated with the aid of the new landscape to restore its image...

...Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers. Its international presence is supported by Web sites, artist communities, books and magazines. Street art has become part of a global visual culture. Now, even art museums and galleries are collecting the work of street artists. It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also, street artists usually work secretly because it is illegal to paint public and private property without permission. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of nontraditional cultural expression. Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the nineteen sixties. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti. It is visually exciting and energetic. Some graffiti paintings were signs marking the territories of city gangs or illegal crime groups. Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented...

...Great Exhibition of 1851in London had opened the door to a procession of spectacular festivals of self-representation and image making, most western countries have accepted the Expo as an opportunity to show that their method to challenge of sustainable development of the city is in a more environmentally friendly interactive displays than others. However, the greatest honor cumulative to the hosts. The city of Shanghai, which was a badge member of the exclusive club of the world’s premiere cities, worthy of the event in a world-class. More widely, the Beijing Olympics of 2008 showed the new China and precisely provided an example of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Hence, the Chinese government may point to the Expo as another example of the admiration of the world turning toward China. It was reported that in the last 160 years, there has never an Expo similar to that, which took place in the 2010 Shanghai Expo. A case in point is that more than 700,000 people poured into a site the size of Baltimore in Shanghai in 184 days. They found that an unprecedented number of pavilions, built by the state and enterprises exhibitors, which deployed cutting edge architecture and state-of-the-art exhibition techniques to comment as ‘Better City, Better Life’ in English, but the Chinese version is closer to ‘city: let ’s make life better ’.

...1. Short Description a) Definition, origin Visual perception[1] is the ability to interpret the surrounding environment by processing information that is contained in visible light. The resulting perception is also known as eyesight or vision. However, what people see is not simply a translation of retinal stimuli (i.e., the image on the retina) [2]. Aesthetic experience of visual perception can therefore be conceptualised in three levels: sensory perception (environmental stimuli), cognition, meanings and values that the viewer may associate with this typology. (Gjerde M. 2010.) The Analysis of visual perception is a method to clarify visual information in physical environment, thus parsing human’s interpreting process into legible components...

Helps generate local public support which is very important in a successful organization of the games.

...empower those that do not possess the means and the knowledge to speak for themselves. The particular issue at hand is mountain top removal for purposes of strip mining in remote central Appalachia by the industry of big coal. Vast corporate and political interests dictate the way that irreparable damage is done to the local ecosystem in and around these smaller communities while they really have no say in the matter. The poster the Beehive Collective created is an intricate and symbolic illustration of the overall dilemma depicted on a national scale. The poster is designed to fold so that the image displayed on the front portrays the forest, mountains, and the animals living there. When the poster is opened up the image on the front is split down the middle by the image from the inside of the poster which depicts numerous aspects of human society in the form of a sprawling city. The capital building is at the top and as you work your way down it trickles over the different layers of society all the way to the mines and coal being extracted from the natural environment. Inside the...

...* Problem statement The problem for Las Vegas is they are losing revenue because of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack. People also see Vegas as Sin City and a place where people go to gamble. Vegas do not have a good image to a lot of people. Even though they are trying to turn it around and create a place for families they will never lose that Sin City label. * Company Analysis Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) fielded several national ad campaigns. Tourism is Las Vegas’s biggest industry, and LVCVA is charged with maintaining the city’s brand image and keeping visitors coming to one of the world’s most famous cities. As the 1900s rolled around, many Las Vegas officials felt that the town needed to broaden its target audience. So they set out to appeal to families. Some of the biggest casinos on the Las Vegas strip built roller coasters and other thrill rides, world-class water parks, and family-friendly shows like Treasure Island’s live-action swashbuckler spectacle, visible to everyone passing by on the street. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, dealt Las Vegas tourism one of its worst blows ever. Declining tourism led to 15 000 lost jobs. The LVCVA engineered an image of Las Vegas as a luxury destination oozing with excess and indulgence. The theme parks were replaced by five-star resorts, high-rise condos, expansive shopping mall filled with the world’s top luxury brands, and restaurants bearing names of world-renowned chefs...

...The Devil In The White City The Chicago fire of 1871 left the city desolate yet allowed Chicago to erupt in creation and construction. Architects built and expanded the city into the Chicago we see today. Chicago was known as a smaller, less sophisticated New York, until the World's Fair in 1893. In The Devil In The White City, Erik Larson follows the 1893 World's Fair from the stress of preparing the exhibits, its global effects. Larson uses imagery, personification, structure, and irony to display the fair as a sanctuary in contrast to the filth of Chicago. Larson inserts tragedies of the outside world within pages that describe the luxury of the fair to contrast the economy and work environment of the exposition with that of Chicago. When hiring architects to construct the midway, executives were not concerned with overspending. When hiring for the midway, Sol Bloom asked for an...

...Oklahoma City Bombing and the Media Before September 11, 2001 America was attacked April 19, 1995 by one of its own citizens, the attack is now known as the Oklahoma City Bombing. The attack claimed 168 lives, which 19 of them were children and several hundred were injured, (FBI). By definition this attack was terrorism; terrorism is the unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or government, often for ideological or political reasons, (Barnett, Reynolds). From researching and studying terrorism and the media this paper will include; the background on Timothy McVeigh, Oklahoma City Bombing, how it was reported, how it is different from now and the speculations of how the media helped or harmed the situation. Timothy McVeigh grew up living a ‘normal life’, with loving parents and childhood friends but he felt unloved. In third grade he witnessed a neighbor boy drown a bag of kittens in a nearby pond he was so disgusted that day forward he could not bear the sight of death to the point he stopped shooting bull frogs with his bb gun. That all changed when he joined the United States Army and was deployed to the Gulf War. In basic and deployment training his mind set was changed to killing was an act of war, he even declared the attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building an act of war, (Michel, Herbeck).It was just a mission and solider are...

...that the poverty is present. the reference to ‘lambs’ and repetition of ‘multitudes’ emphasises the number of children and perhaps the extent of the poverty, the lambs could also be interpreted as a sacrificial animal, which shows the children are being used to make the people feel good. The lines in this poem are longer than Blake’s typical poetry and this could also emphasise the volume of magnitude of the poverty, furthermore the ‘flowing river’ also gives imagery of a large volume. The metaphor of ‘flowers’ emphasises the children’s beauty and innocence, but also the positioning of them ‘flowers of London town’ contrasts their beauty to the ugly setting of a city and gives them a certain strength in that they are able to flourish as flowers in a city. Holy Thursday in Experience however gives a different image of selfishness and irony as it conveys the idea that there shouldn’t be poverty and questions why there is in a ‘rich and fruitful land’, this could show that there is money available but it is not being used to reduce the poverty. The rich only do something once a year to make themselves feel good and as if they have helped the children. This can also be seen in Innocence in the last line ‘then cherish pity’, this could either be seen as positive as the children would be even worse off if there was no pity but to ‘cherish’ it seems like the people are happy to have it as it makes them feel better about themselves when they help the children once a year, the reality...
