Flight TN (Air Tahiti) 101 has stopped in Papeete for a layover on the way to Auckland. 

Last night, I departed from SFO, and transferred planes at LAX.

I will spend a moment in Papeete before boarding a flight again, toward New Zealand, and the date line.

Once in Auckland, I will make my way to the harbor, to board the Majestic Princess. 

The scheduled departure of the boat was delayed by three hours, to 10 P.M., due to weather conditions. 

There is a fair chance of rain on most of the days that I could check the forecast for in New Zealand and Australia. 

On the way here, I watched Elvis, read some of Doctor Zhivago, and listened to downloads. 

1/29/23

Arrival in Auckland is met with transportation to the Auckland harbor. 

It takes very little delay to gather myself after the flight and the change in time. 

Many of the arriving flights had been delayed or rescheduled, according to signage at the airport, due to the flooding of the runway.

I board the Majestic Princess, unpack, shower, and tour the ship’s amenities. This includes a trip to the bar, and the consumption of four Long Island Iced Teas. Shortly after, I am able to sleep, after I last woke in California, on the 27th.

1/30/23

It was past midnight when I woke up and noticed that the ship was in motion. I laid awake for a moment before deciding upon staying conscious. I ordered a veggie burger and an Americano, walked to the deck to see the ship’s wake, and then to the other side of the boat, to stop by the casino. It was closed.

The ship would broadcast the NFC Championship at 9 A.M. in the morning, after my breakfast. As the game went through the first quarter, I watched the ship turn into its port in Tauranga. I watched the game from a hot tub until half-time, at which point I changed clothes and ate on the deck, until the third quarter of the game. 

It was about a half-mile walk to the trails, the name of the mountain (a.k.a. Mount Maunganui or “The Mount”) that overlooks the peninsula and harbor of Tauranga. I hiked up one side, and saw some sheep along the way. I walked down another trail that led me to the other side of the Tauranga peninsula. 

I walked alongside the beach, into a mini-peninsula off the main beach. I did some window-shopping through the mid-peninsula before finding myself near the boat. It was simpler to board again, eat again, and fall asleep for a while. When I woke up, in the evening I ordered five plates of food to the room, and finished the meal while watching Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. 

It was early enough, when the movie was over, to get drinks at the bar, and check out the Freddie Mercury tribute concert at the Princess Theater. 

1/31/23

The day was highlighted by a scheduled trip to the Hobbiton movie set, the filming location for the setting of the Shire in the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies. 

Before I left the ship for the drive to the set, I watched the beginning of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, until the moment right before Bilbo decides to embark on the journey with the dwarves. 

The set is located on a farm, past a range of mountains when traveling from Tauranga. 

The tour began highlighting areas where specific scenes from the movies were shot, and the discussion of camera techniques used in the movie. Different areas on the set were sized proportionally, to make any character appear larger or smaller in respect to it. 

I could recognize these settings, and took many photos. The tour went around the set, and ended near the Green Dragon Inn, where I was served, by our tour guide, Calen, a cup of ale.

The drive to and from the set took about an hour and 15 minutes each way. The driver discussed major exports of the area, including timber, kiwi fruit, and dairy products. I recognized the Zespri brand name as we passed by the office building for the kiwi fruit company. 

Return to the ship was followed by a meal and the next hour of the first Hobbit movie. I then went to the indoor pool for what was around two hours. Patrick McCullough performed in the Princess Theater in the evening. 

2/1/23

The journey’s first full day at sea would consist of traveling from Tauranga to Wellington. It started early, with breakfast, but with little other activity until my visit to the casino. My initial $20 AUD transfer was gone in just a few spins. I waited to eat at Alfredo’s, where I would eat three times throughout the day. I resumed gambling, maintaining a bank for the slots while losing at the tables. I eventually hit a slots bonus that brought me to $280 AUD, after I had put in $140 AUD in total. 

I watched the Maori ambassador’s presentation on traditions and mythology in the Princess Theater. This was followed by my next visit to Alfredo;’s, in the ship’s atrium. It was in the atrium that I then participated in a Haka dance with the ambassadors. Crew members began to set up a champagne waterfall, which I watched through, nearly to its completion. At 6:30 P.M., the officers of the ship were introduced at the waterfall ceremony. I took a glass of champagne from a nearby server and sat at Alfredo’s again. I began watching Alien: Covenant, but not to its conclusion, before the night ended. 

There was a musical performance in the Princess Theater. I found it happening after participating in the guessing contest for the weight of a pig-sculpture in the art studio. 

2/2/23

I have found myself waking up early, as was the case today. Upon arrival  in Wellington, I am ready to explore the city. The bus takes me near the cable car, which runs up a hill to the botanical gardens. These gardens run towards the side and down the hill, and included native NZ species of flora, and more - a herb garden, rose garden, and greenhouse with a pond full of guppies. The downhill trail ends back near the parliament building, which I detoured around. I walked closer to the harbor-coastline area to the Maritime Museum. There were a few objects of interest there. A walk along the coastline took me to the Te Papa Museum, which exhibited nature-science, a NZ WWI display, abstract art, traditional Maori pieces and more. The bus to the ship gathered passengers right behind the museum. Back on the boat, I took a moment to decide whether to watch the movie being shown on the deck, Dakota, before changing, and watching it from a hot tub. I met two, from Korea, in the tub.

I went to the atrium, alternated alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks three times, for six drinks total, before getting two Americanos saturated with brown sugar. The live music was okay. I watched the rest of Alien: Covenant and slept. 

2/3/23

Another early day started at 5:30 A.M., until the hills around our destination port appeared around us at breakfast. The timing would allow for a load of laundry to be completed while the ship docked. In Port Shakespeare, shuttle buses took cruise-ship passengers to the town of Picton. A primary glimpse into the ocean water, from the Picton harbor beach, was very red - what I understood to be red algae. I kept walking for what was at least 2.5 hours round-trip. 

It began to rain, most heavily when I decided to turn around, at the viewpoint on the trail labeled as the viewpoint for Queen Charlotte’s Sound. My shoes were a little moist, as was my passport, when I ended up back at the harbor. The couple I had met the day prior offered a pint of beer, which I drank rather quickly, before asking where I could get some soda. There was a nearby sandwich and soda shop. I stopped by, and walked through the street full of souvenir shops and restaurants, before ending up at a store, where I bought a bottle of Lawson’s Dry Hills Reserve Pinot Noir. Ideally, I would have gone on some sort of wine tour, but I did not. I was allowed to bring the wine back on board the boat. 

The ship leaves Queen Charlotte Sound and turns right, to navigate southward on the southern island. It is picturesque, and I combine sightseeing from the lido deck with drinks from Alex and Whinn at the atrium’s Vines bar. 

2/4/23

The ship docked in Lyttleton harbor, and I was in the initial queue to go ashore. Shuttles awaited for the journey into Lyttelton or Christchurch. Notes from my booked tour instructed me to board for Lyttelton and transfer in the port-city. 

The tour bus went north around Governor’s Bay before taking the road over the mountain range that divides Christchurch from Lyttelton. Descent into Christchurch gave way to a view of the mountain-park for mountain bikers and zip-liners, and a more distant picture of Christchurch and New Zealand’s Alps. A stop was made for this moment, to observe. 

Scottie, the tour guide, drove onto the streets of Christchurch while beginning to explain the effect of the hundreds of earthquakes that struck the city between 2010 and 2012. 70% of the city was rebuilt since that time, into the present day, in which the city has been reopened to cruise-ship passengers for its first year since. A wall of names downtown commemorates those lost. 

Free time in the city would consist of walking by that memorial and along the river. This was followed by a few moments at the botanical gardens. There is much evidence of the effect that the earthquakes had still. In the more suburban areas, less so, as the “red zone” now delineates the area in which construction cannot take place due to risks, in the event of another earthquake. This zone was quite large, and took up most of the trip on our way to the beach in Brighton. 

A few more winding roads through the jagged peninsulas wold lead to the port-city where we landed. I had a moment to stop at Eruption Brewing to down a lager on the deck. 

There was a moment in the evening, at the Vines bar, as I read the next pages of Zhivago. This was followed by another moment, as I looked out the window to see three animals, apparently, jumping through the ship’s wake. I could identify the animal in the third instance as a penguin. 

I kept drinking and eating, watched Morbius on the pool deck, and checked out the late-night dance in the atrium before calling it a night. 

2/5/23

The ship docked at Port Chalmers in the early morning.

Upon entering the port-city, I walked through the main city street, up through a path by the Presbyterian Church, and to a garden that house a lookout over the harbor, the dock, and city hall. Buses were ready to take passengers to the city of Dunedin. The city center is an octagon-shaped block with a road for buses going horizontally through. It was pretty early in the morning, on a Sunday, and I would need to walk the same path twice t be there for various sites’ hours of operation. These sites included the rail station, the Toitū Otago Settlers Museum, and the Chinese Garden. I visited three churches, the First Church of Otago, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the St. Joseph Cathedral. I attended mass at St. Paul’s until the communal prayers, then walked to the St. Joseph Cathedral, just before communal prayers. 

I walked back to the octagon, and had fish and chips at a place called Social Club. This was followed by a visit to the Dunedin Public Art Gallery. This would conclude my visit to the city, as buses to the ship departed from the octagon. 

I stayed wake into the early hours of the next morning, as the DJ took over the atrium/dance floor per usual. Midnight marked the arrival of my birthday.

2/6/23 - 2/8/23

It was a rather late night, the previous night. 

Three days were spent to cross the Tasman Sea, into Australia. 

I dined at the Crown Grill for my birthday festivities. The next day’s dinner would be in the Symphony Dining Room. On the next, dinner was at the Harmony Restaurant. The food at all three locations on the ship was delectable. 

My stateroom is located near the front of the ship, which can apparently rock with the waves, as the ship presses forward. The movement could have been worse, but it did not go unnoticed. We were quite close to Tasmania on the night before we got there, and the going was pretty easy, much of the early morning consisting of cruising through the bay and into the Hobart port. 

2/9/23

Dawn arrives as the ship arrives in the port of Hobart. I watched the ship dock in the morning light. The groups for excursions into Tasmania are assembled in the Princess Theater. Several groups prepare to board buses to the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary. I had looked into this excursion for an opportunity to see Tasmanian Devils. This was the first instance in which I had done so. There were several species native to Australia there as well, an abundance of kangaroos, some emus, birds, etc. We were bussed back towards the ship, stopping by the bridge for a photo-op across the bay from Hobart. 

The bus dropped us off at the port, there was still about six hours to walk through the city. I started west, towards the other side of the port, and out into the respective peninsula. The University of Tasmania is located there, and a little further is a residential area in which I found a hotel bar that poured me a Cascade, a native Tasmanian beer. The path would lead back towards but past the ship, through downtown Hobart past various athletics facilities, through a fallen soldiers’ memorial, to a track meet in progress. This path continued through to the botanical gardens. I would check the time to be back on the boat, stopping by the war memorial, the ANZAC eye. 

The Hobart Brewing Co. is located right next to the port, and I stop for a flavored beer. 

2/10/23

The last day of the cruise is a day at sea, between Tasmania and Sydney. It is a fairly good moment. I found myself on the deck at times, in the atrium as the choir sang Oklahoma!, and dining in the Allegro Dining Room that evening. I had barramundi. The Noordam cruises alongside us, I observed, as the evening continued. 

2/11/23

We arrived in the port of Sydney at around 5 A.M. I am ready to leave with my disembarkation group at 8 A.M. It’s a pretty good feeling, sunrise over the Sydney Opera House. I am not feeling any fatigue. The deal I booked online was a bus pass/hostel package, with plenty of distance to cover up the east coast of Australia. Accommodations are about a mile inland, near Town Hall. I dropped off my bags at the Nomads Hostel location and begin my first day of two in Sydney. Proceeding east past Town Hall is the ANZAC War Memorial and the botanical gardens. Along the path northward is the Art Gallery of New South Wales, made up of two separate buildings. There are a few nice pieces there, I’m not sure I recognized any in particular, maybe some artists here and there. I continued north through the gardens and past the Opera House again, towards the Sydney Harbor Bridge. At this moment in the day, I do not have any time constraints, but the walk over the bridge and back to the hostel took about 2 hours. It’s at this moment that I get ready to attend the performance of La Boheme at the opera house. This preparation includes the consumption of Somersby cider and jalapeño poppers at the hostel bar. 

2/12/23

I made the route out to take for the second and last planned day in Sydney. It was through to the west via train to to the Olympic park, and then after a walk through it, a ferry ride back to the quay. It was a pretty lengthy trek. The bus left at 7 P.M., which left me some time to visit Bondi Beach, walk around there, and take the bus and subway back to the city center where I had left my bags, and where the Greyhound bus would depart from. 

2/13/23

The bus ride has taken about 19 hours to Brisbane. This area of Australia is made up of national parks and Eucalyptus forests. I looked out the window for a good while until it was overwhelmingly dark outside, at which point I watched the last two episodes of the National Treasure series on my phone. Traffic increased as we approached the city of Brisbane. The Super Bowl was occurring, and I listened in. When I arrived, I walked to the Nomads hostel, and left my bags there before check-in at 3 P.M. The central business district is pretty nice, and it is fairly hot outside - I stopped by Starbucks for a refresher and an ice-water. The city is built alongside a river, and there’s a smaller arts part of the city as well on the other side of the river from the business district. This evening walk included three museums, a cozy park, and a ferris-wheel ride. I got a ticket for an evening concert - classical music, a chamber orchestra led by violinist Ilya Gringolts. I walked back to the hostel, checked in, showered, and got sushi. Then, I went to the concert. 

2/14/23

The Brisbane train station is one block from the hostel. I got a vending machine espresso drink from the station before departing towards the Australia Zoo. I had seen a few episodes of Crikey! It’s the Irwins before my trip started. It was a good stop to make. I went around the zoo and ended up in the middle of it, where the crocodiles were. The crocodiles were from Australia, some with backstories on display. I liked the alligators as well, and they were from the U.S.A. I got an Icee by the African savannah exhibit, where there were zebras, giraffes, and rhinos. There was a tiger feeding. I got a salad before the Crocoseum show - trained birds flying from trainer to trainer, and crocodile feeding. There was a moment to stop by the animal hospital before going back to Brisbane. I had potato gnocchi for dinner. 

2/15/23

It was a pretty nice, early morning. I got some fruit buns at Woolworth’s grocery store before my bus to Airlie Beach. This bus ride would take the rest of the day and the morning of the next. I got a long black from the station cafe. The Dallas Stars played, and I listened to that. I revisited some of my Youtube Music listening history from two or three years ago. This included “Moonshadow” by Cat Stevens., and “Let Me Go” by Alesso, Hailee Steinfeld, and Florida-Georgia Line. 

2/16/23

Once in Airlie Beach, I decided to go on a boat ride to a nearby island. This is the southern part of the Great Barrier Reef. The boat, the Camira, sailed out to Whitsunday Island. We anchored by one side of the island to snorkel, and I made use of my underwater camera in pursuit of some colorful marine life. Once anchored by another part of the island, we hiked up to a lookout over the beach, and walked down to it as well. Lunch for me was a veggie burger. I tried the Strongbow and the Great Northern Brewing Co. “Super Crisp.” In the evening would be a moment to walk through Airlie Beach - the pools, the beach, and the harbor, where I got a pizza. The hostel pool area was closed, but I sat down and almost fell asleep there.

2/17/23

The bus to Townsville departed at 9:50 A.M., by which time I had walked through the town again, to McDonalds, Woolworth’s and a pharmacy, where I got a pin with turtles on it, for my backpack. The bus ride there took about five hours. The bus station is linked to the ferry system between the town and Magnetic Island, where I planned to stay for two nights. I stopped by the hostel, but I had forgotten to make a reservation. The other hostel on the map was in Picnic Bay, about a mile away. I walked with a resident on the trail there. The island is pretty nice, not too populated, and I had a squash salad and a beer flight at Maggie Island Brewery - a fresh cucumber beer stood out - the last one on the flight. After that, I did the laundry, considering the hike to West Point, as it began to rain. 

2/18/23

Early morning, I had the cup ramen noodles I had, and waded in the pool with Louie, an Australian Shepherd. He swam across a few times, but I was preparing for my trip to Horseshoe Bay, on the other side of the island. This hike would start at the bay and go around the outer side to the north-east, down south, and towards the lookout, located closer to the center of the island, up a long flight of stairs. Adam, from the hostel, told me that I should bring carrots for the rock wallabies, if I intended on feeding them. I got these from the store at Horseshoe Bay. I walked on the trail as it presented itself, and although it was raining, I enjoyed looking at the beachfronts and flora. The informational guidepost mentioned that this island was a precautionary WWII lookout, used both by Australian and U.S.A. soldiers in that time. The lookout at the top was just two buildings. The Magnetic Island National Park entrance was nearby, where I waited for the bus. I rode to the south-eastern part of the island where the rock wallabies lived. I fed one a carrot immediately, gave one to some tourists who had scootered there, and with no other wallabies around, ate the last one. I missed the next bus back to Picnic Bay. There was a store nearby, where I got pasta, sauce, sour skittles, cheese, chips, and pineapple juice. I waited by the bus stop as the rain stopped and started again, before the next bus. I shared the pasta with some tourists from Germany. 

2/19/23

I woke up in time to swim at the Picnic Bay beach, and then again at the hostel pool with Louie. I took the 10 A.M. ferry back to Townsville, and walked through a memorial park. I got a pizza by the Townsville beach, and some ice cream after that. The bus to Cairns would be at 2:40 P.M., and I walked the beach for a bit, got some beers as UFC played on T.V., and wandered back to the station. It was nighttime in Cairns when I got there.

2/20/23

The early morning consisted of breakfast at McDonalds, by the harbor, where I boarded the Evolution to scuba-dive. The bus stopped at two different locations for diving and snorkeling. We were given some instruction on how to dive, on the way there.I opted to dive twice. The first time I dove, a fellow diver, Josephine, and I linked arms with an instructor. We descended, and some things that stood out to me were the shark, and a fish that followed me about the size of my upper body. After the dive, I snorkeled. The ship, the Evolution, moved to its next location, the North Hastings Reef. This location had more coral, and we dove in a group of five, including the instructor. We saw a few more colorful fish, a few giant clams, sea cucumbers, and two more sharks. Both dives were about 15-20 minutes. I snorkeled again, after removing the self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. I saw a turtle, a lone jellyfish, and a few fish by the boat that looked like Dory from Finding Nemo. The ship made its way back to Cairns, where I received my PADI certificate for my dive. I stopped by a restaurant for some fried seafood and a XXXX beer, then got some gelato, proceeding to walk the length of the beach and turn around towards the hostel.

2/21/23

I opted not to go to the rainforest/gondola-trip nearby, where I was aware of a koala sanctuary. I got a falafel wrap, and proceeded to the Cairns Aquarium. It was a good way to wind down the trip, looking at the fish and turtles. I looked into the Carins Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, where we saw two turtles. Carlotta was missing a left flipper, and was adjusting to swim without it. There was another turtle that had a balance issue due to one of the pressure systems in the head. I went back to Gilligan’s for the afternoon, and went to the pool. I drank a lot that evening, and got drinks for some of my roommates. 

2/22/23

My flight home would be at 6:10 P.M., and I walked all the way to the airport from the hostel, through the inner city instead of the beach, and through the Cairns Botanic Gardens and rainforest. I got there at around 2 P.M. I got some food and beer, a few mementos from the airport shop, and boarded the flight to Singapore. I would arrive there at around 11:00 P.M. 

2/23/23

Early morning, and I have gotten on a train to the city, but I mistook which stop to transfer, and was stranded, as that was the last train. I exited the station and waved down a cab. I explained what I wanted to do in Singapore, and he took me where I wanted to go. We stopped first by the Gardens by the Bay, where the park structures were unlit. I ran around the park for a bit, then we proceeded to a lookout, where the Sands, the harbor, and the dam between the river and the sea were visible. We drove through the inner city, and stopped at Little India to eat. I had seafood noodles, the driver had an egg dish. We had some coffee, and I was not allowed to pay for the meal. The driver stopped by to get gas, as we went back to the airport. My flight would leave from Terminal 3. Most of the airport was closed, but I went to the Jewel and fell asleep in there for a few hours, where the waterfall would run, but was not for the night hours. A few more hours would conclude the trip.

Safety Awareness Signs | Workplace Signs

Safety awareness signs are a crucial aspect of maintaining a safe working environment. These signs serve as visual reminders to employees about the potential hazards they may encounter while on the job. From caution signs near machinery or hazardous areas to emergency exit signs guiding individuals to safety, workplace signs play a significant role in preventing accidents and injuries.

However, it is not enough to simply have these safety awareness signs posted throughout the workplace; employees must also be educated about their meaning and importance. Regular training sessions should be conducted to familiarize workers with the various types of workplace signs and what they indicate. By promoting safety awareness through proper signage education, companies can empower their employees to take responsibility for their own well-being as well as that of their coworkers.

Moreover, workplace signs can also contribute to creating a positive work culture focused on safety. When employees consistently see reminders about workplace hazards and necessary precautions, it emphasizes management's commitment toward protecting them. This reinforcement creates trust between employers and workers –highlighting that employee welfare is valued above all else. As such, investing in eye-catching signage displays not only helps prevent accidents but also fosters an atmosphere of collaboration and shared accountability for maintaining a safe work environment.

Formative

The Creators

ThoughtFull Design Studios is a studio based in Auckland and is a huge source of inspiration to me. They have worked for many big companies in New Zealand but I find myself always going to the rebranding of Kiwibank. I love the consistent design system throughout the Kiwibank brand from the bank cards to physical ATMs.

Paula Scher is one of the biggest and most influential designers of our time. Paula and her studio Pentagram have designed many iconic brands (Public, MoMa). She was one of my inspirations for my Sun Wukong book with typography as form. She is one of my design heroes.

Pete McDonald is a Kiwi graphic designer, he's main discipline is illustration. I couldn't find any info about him. He was also one of my inspirations for my Sun Wukong book.

Tyrone Ohia is a Maori graphic designer., he is the creative designer at Extended Whanau. I really like how he uses his cultural background in his work. I choose him because of his publication work.

Josef Muller Brockmann is one of the most influential designers of all time. He is the pioneer of the Swiss grid system style. I discovered who he was through one of my assignments in first year and after it changed my view on publication and design in general. He is one of my design heroes.

Massimo Vignelli is one of the biggest designers of his time, designing many iconic designs including packaging and signage, but the most iconic, of which is still in use today, is the NYC Subway design. I really love his typography work, his is a source of my inspiration.

A map of all the creators plus the Klim Type Foundry, who are a big inspiration to me.

All That You Should Know About Safety and Warning Tapes Manufactured in Auckland

When social distancing has become a part of our daily life, we work on rethinking the concept of social and isolated space. The need for Pvc Cable Duct and caution tapes increased more than ever.

We need a safety tape that's resistant, strong, and visible from far. It helps mark Hazardous and delimited risky areas. It is why manufacturers of cable ducts that are always on the lookout to create differences developed caution tapes. The fact is what people are more commonly referring to gets more regarded as barricade tapes. While barricade tapes may or may not contain specific messages, caution tapes are polythene stripes that come with caution messaging.

Safety and warning tapes get put into place to create a barricade and Increase caution. The misnomer caution tapes are easily understandable. It is a kind of barricade tape. In general, there are two types of barricade tapes. Different types of situations require Protection measures in terms of personal security and Safety. A whole range of Warning signs gets employed to inform people about the risk of getting exposed. From reflecting signages to Safety and Warning Tapes, all sorts of arbitration processes get implemented to control the access to risk-prone areas. Caution tape gets easily recognized due to its vivid contrast. It comes in an array of colors that range from white, red, or yellow to black.

When do Safety And Warning Tapes get used? Well, it helps people to stay alert of crime and accidents. Barricade or caution tapes get used when a specific parameter gets isolated. It gets secured by the Police Force to collect evidence.

Likewise, caution tape gets used in areas where challenging repair work is in progress, and chances of accidents are quite high. Non-functional pieces of machinery or Equipment get signaled by employing caution tapes with trained messages imprinted on them.

Hence you often come across caution tapes blocking your way On the risk of electrocution. Apart from blocking danger zones, caution tapes get employed to isolate an area for Public manifestations and concerts. For instance, the area marked with Safety and Warning Tapes may get highly guarded by police. Businesses that serve commodity repair have caution tapes marked with details of the activity and the company's name.

Though available in stores, you can order it online. The only thing that you consider when getting it customized is the clarity of the warning. Caution tapes tend to come with black lettering Imprinted on Yellow polythene to create a great contrast. You will find it is easy to see and enhances the height of caution.

It could come with some messages like caution, do not enter, or parking prohibited. Caution tapes make the most of the Color contrast of black and yellow. Customized safety and warning tapes come with diagonal stripes that draw the attention of the Walkers. But, it has no messaging at all.

CTEC502 - Creative Tech Vlog

Our first assignment was to create a 4 minute vlog explaining my path to creative technology and how I envision my future within the industry. This was my take (Which ended up being a bit longer than 4 minutes but I had a lot to say and 4:30 minutes was the best I could do hehe).

Transcript:

Everyone has a life, it is what we do with it, as individuals, that makes us unique and gives us the possibility to create a meaningful impact in our society and even the wider world

Kalimera, Talofa Lava, Hello. My name is Elias Kaleta and I am currently studying a bachelor of Creative Technologies at Auckland University of Technology.  I have travelled a long path to end up to where I am today; A path that ranges from studying English and Media, Film & TV to Psychology and Computer Science. I studied most of these things because I thought they were, “tried and true” career paths where I would go right through it and have a job lined up. The issue was, I wasn’t passionate about it. Throughout high school and my first attempts at university, I would do great at the practical aspects but when it came to exams, I struggled. I find myself to be a very hands-on and kinaesthetic learner but the current educational system forced me to think that theoretical learning was the only way I could succeed in my chosen career path. After all these failed attempts at learning, I realised that maybe it wasn’t the content that I wasn’t enjoying, but the way that it was delivered. So I decided it was time for a new environment and four weeks into Creative Technologies at AuT and I can already tell things are different..

When I first enrolled into Creative Technology last year, my friends and family bombarded me with the question, ‘What is Creative Technology?”, and I would always respond, “It’s like a mix of design and computer science”. It wasn’t until recently I realised that couldn’t be more wrong of an answer. Sure, to some extent it encompasses elements of design and computer science, but creative technology is so much more than that. A generic but truthful answer, is that it is a multidisciplinary course which gives one the skillset to look at one issue through many different viewpoints. You see, at first Creative Technology seemed like such a hard thing to describe when all along, it was right there in the name, “Creative. Technology.”. It’s about finding new, creative and innovative ways to utilise pre-existing technology in our work, our art and just our lives in general. An example (though it may seem like an odd one), would be the issue of brushing your teeth in the morning and having a coffee ready for work; why do one at a time when you can do both? Create a toothbrush that when it is being used, it turns on your coffee maker so it is ready for you once you’ve finished the classic 2 minute brush. Okay, that may be a bad idea but I’m learning that, that’s okay. Bad ideas actually don’t exist, they’re all a part of the creative process which leads to better and more complex ideas.

A reason why Creative Technology is so unknown, is because it’s a rather new term. In 1993, Bran Ferren was one of the first people in the cooperate world to be given the title of a ‘Creative Technologist’ as a part of the Walt Disney Company. Disney’s CEO, Michael Eisner, relayed a message from Ferren which was that his broader mission, “…is to dream about the future and to show us new and innovative ways to tell stories.”  [1] something I think perfectly describes the mindset a creative technologist should have. Ferren then went on to work on many different projects within the Walt Disney Company such as; Some amusement park rides like the Tower of Terror ride and the Indiana Jones Adventure ride, as well as many on-air television projects.

Now, Creative Technology is changing everything. An example of this is the way companies are marketing their products; companies like Coca Cola. Coca Cola has used technology to allow the consumer to interact with the company right from their phones with their ‘Sip and Scan’ campaign that allows the consumer to scan their bottle and win prizes. They have also implemented different interactive activities around the world like in Japan, where someone can play a dance-dance-revolution type game in order to receive a free coke can. [2] It is ideas like this, that make me excited to pursue a career in Creative Technology.

I’m hoping that this course will give me the opportunity to expand on my creative thinking and that it will supply me with the knowledge and direction to finetune my practical and mental skills. I want it to challenge me to criticise the way we use technology in our lives and find ways to change it for the better.  

I have had a long, tiring path up to this point, but I finally feel like I have direction and that my career in Creative Technology will consist of projects that will benefit my society, my country, or even more eagerly, the world.

Personal Protection Signs | Safety Signs

Personal protection signs and safety signs play a crucial role in safeguarding individuals and creating a secure environment. These signs serve as visual reminders and provide important information about potential hazards or precautions to be taken. They help prevent accidents, injuries, and even save lives.

It is imperative for organizations to have clear and well-placed personal protection signs throughout their premises. Be it construction sites, factories, or even office spaces, these signs ensure that employees are aware of the necessary safety measures they need to follow. They indicate the use of personal protective equipment such as helmets, gloves, goggles, and ear protection. By prominently displaying these signage, employers exhibit their commitment towards employee well-being.

Moreover, personal protection signs also act as a barrier against legal liabilities for companies. By complying with industry regulations and providing proper safety signage, businesses demonstrate their dedication to maintaining a safe working environment. In addition to the required safety protocols displayed on these signs such as Caution: Hard Hat Area or Safety Glasses Required,” organizations can also go above and beyond by incorporating motivational messages like Your Safety Matters or Think Safety First. Such positive reinforcement adds an element of empathy while reminding employees of the importance of following safety protocols.
