Final Question - what do I like most about my...
Coming into this class, I had no idea what it was about. I didn’t know what I’d be learning, or what I’d be doing. Now, I am here at 8 am for the final, and I can’t help but wonder how I have been using a computer without the knowledge I have now learned from this class. The three things I like most about my newfound media literacy are the programs I was...

glamour
When I think of glamour, I think of high fashion, couture, bright lights big city. I think of the makeup store Sephora, and I think of the show Sex and the City. East coast glamour is high end clothes that are preppy looking, and west coast is expensive dresses and tans.

Collective desires
At first I didn’t really understand this assignment, but the more I thought about it, the more I think I understand. I know probably the more common fears that are written about are terrorist attacks, 9/11, war, bush as president, etc. Honestly though? I think the biggest fear that plagues many, many Americans is the fear of being different and being alienated. Our collective desires as...
The Freud Video
This video overall was very interesting, but what struck me the most was in the beginning about Edward Bernays. First of all, I think it’s amazing that this famous opera singer happened to be Freud’s nephew. It’s strange to think that a famous psychoanalyst and an incredibly famous opera singer are related. Anyway, what was most fascinating about this is how Bernays used Freud to...
Superbowl ads
So i know it’s a couple weeks after the superbowl, but I wanted to write about the ads for my blog. The ads are definitely my favorite part of the superbowl. This year’s ads were ok, but I’ve seen better in the past. My favorite was one of the first ones that aired, which was the pepsi commercial. I thought it was hysterical how all the people were bobbing up and down due to lack...

first actual blog
My major is Advertising, with the certificate program of Advertising, Art, and Design. What I want to do when I graduate is to design my own print ads or commercials. I love to analyze ads and to think about the psychology of them, similar to what we did in class. When we were looking at the models in class and talking about how they look younger to appeal to different audiences, it makes you...
ok, just so you know, my photos didnt show up in my text blog, so im going to try and load them separately
Forms of Media: college bulletin boards
Instead of doing a paragraph a day for five days, I am going to write about five forms of media that I have not attended to here. The first form of media that I have not attended to is college bulletin boards. It’s funny because I constantly walking around campus, and never really notice the bulletin boards in every building. What you find on these boards are notices...
