A Bit About Me

As a child, I've always loved expressing myself through my writing or even oral communication. It was and continues to be releasing and often helped me self-reflect, however, I was consistently told that what I had to say had no value because I was "just a child". Further, into my development, I chose to refrain from giving out my unwanted opinions. With time I realized that what I had to say was just as important as any other person. I chose this class to encourage my self-expression and get in touch with my creative side. I would describe myself as an ultimately bubbly person who loves being outdoors, acknowledging my present moment, and giving gratitude to all that I have. In the future, I hope to take Buddhist studies and study abroad.

Creative Reflection #2

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AGuQrJ1ZlVJRiLJFz4ref2iP-EKNLRsu/view?usp=drivesdk Transcript: How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?  Right, so I feel as though when it comes to books or magazines or anything that an audience is reading, um I feel like the number one rule is that if you really want to engage with your audience, you need a topic that really resonates with a lot of people. And like I've said before, self-acceptance, self-love, you know struggling with self is just really common today, unfortunately. Um but that in itself has the capability of attracting an audience and making them feel like they're there. Um and the reason being is because they too feel the same way. They've felt down about themselves, they felt like they weren't good enough, they've compared themselves and that in itself um, yeah they just feel like, you know they can engage with us, we can engage with them with our words.

Women Represented in the Media

  For many years, the media has failed to recognize women for all that they are, and all that they are capable of. It's very likely to see movies, magazines, and ads that have depicted women in demeaning and stereotypical ways. For Instance, the most common has been the housewife. The woman is seen cleaning the house, taking care of the children, and serving the man. Not only does this uphold the patriarchy that we have seen and experienced for countless years, but it creates the idea that this is all women know and are capable of doing. Furthermore, the media has destroyed and manipulated thousands of individuals into thinking that a woman must look a certain way to be considered beautiful, worthy, and so forth. These unrealitic beauty standards affect our society and younger generations way more than we think. As a child, you absorb all that you see and hear. With the widespread use of the media in today's world, children and people of all age groups begin to feed into this b

Evaluating Preliminary Task

 Evaluation: The preliminary task gave me the opportunity to improve my creative skills and expand my knowledge of photoshop/ photo editing.  It took longer than expected because I had to ensure that the color schemes fit my theme, the fonts depicted the feeling and message I wanted to convey, and that the pictures were placed in a way that would attract a wider audience.  Layout: The layout of my cover magazine followed all the necessary conventions. I used this picture of my puppy because it portrays him as sweet and playful. He looked comfortable and happy and I thought it would attract more dog lovers. Placing him in the center was the best option for my magazine because it allowed me to place the cover lines around him without directly covering any part of that image. The masthead is dark green and right above the cover model. I chose green because the picture was taken outside and blends right in with the grass. Additionally, cover lines are placed on the left of the cover model
