I am exposed to audio the most because I listen to music all the time and I use my cell phone. I have a video ipod and I use it almost everywhere I go. But I am also exposed to video when I watch movies like Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle or when I watch the World Cup on TV. I first started to pick and listen to the music of my choice when I started seventh grade. I listen to a variety of music but rock is my favorite and Bloodhound Gang is my favorite band. Whenever I have to listen to the radio I usually listen to live105.3. Before I chose my music I used to listen to the music my parents played like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. I still listen to them. I think audio is particularly effective because music is a part of it and it is very influential. Everybody listens to some type of music and for people like me it is a very important part of living. I use audio to communicate with others when I do podcasts and especially when I talk with people on the phone. Music helps me think and helps me get by when things are not very exciting. |
| Assignment One - Personal Profile & Statement: At first I wasn't sure about what to write about media affecting my life but once I started it wasn't hard to finish. Then I was worried about being able to figure out how to make hyperlinks, but I learned how and realized it was very easy. Now that I know how to make hyperlinks, I feel like I learned a useful tool for the future when I use computers. |
Assignment Two - Montage: What's In A Name? This montage is my first creation using photoshop, but it will definitely not be the last. I never used photoshop before this, so when I was supposed to make a montage I was sure it would be harder than it looked. But once I learned a few of the tools I got right into it. I know it was supposed to represent my name, and it does, but it mostly shows my interests right now. My main interests are music and soccer. Starting from the top left is The Distillers, to the right of it is The Vandals, to the right of that is Interpol. The middle row, from left to right, consists of Dane Cook, Bloodhound Gang, and The Offspring. The bottom row from left to right is Death Cab For Cutie, a black video ipod, and Matisyahu. My favorite brand Adidas is in there and another brand of shoe I like is Converse. The top half of the montage is a see through picture of the Honduras flag and the bottom half is the Mexican flag. Those make up my ethnic background, but I feel like my Honduran side is more important and that is why it is on the top and a little bigger. The outline of the soccer ball takes up the whole picture because it is my favorite sport, even if I ride the bench at my school. |
