It's been a great semester so far in Comm 203. Over the last few weeks, I have observed and examined the world of communication and how it interacts with our society today, which allows me to understand the basics of how it influences us as consumers. I have enjoyed the atmosphere of the class, the people, and of course Dr. William's teaching style. So far my favorite part of this semester is our Graphic Novel project. I love the creativity I get to employ when telling a story. The Comic Life software has made creative expression simple and effective. I've liked this so much that I'm going to try to continue my comic making. It's also a plus that the material for my comics is found in a video game!
The media literacy project was also a highlight this semester. Learning how to translate the language of media communication was both helpful, practical, and fun. It's so easy to be absent minded when watching TV or even looking at a magazine that sometimes we forget that people are trying to tell us or even sell us something. There are messages being conveyed in all mediums and they get either get consumed thoughtlessly or ignored altogether. Media literacy has given me the tools I need to absorb and someday, produce content at a professional level. Theses are just the first few steps in my journey though, and I can't wait to continue learning!
