EnD Of OuR JoUrNeY as culture spiers! :(

Posted by liltraviesa on July 18, 2008


well my first piece was a poster of tweety. if youve noticed he seems angry or well kinda cranky, wanna know why because he doesnt want marketers to steal teens styles!!!!! the message is pretty clear and understandable. i wanted to use someone who is well known and loved by everyone including the media. so then tweety automatically popped in my head and what is tweety without sylvester! lmao i wanted to make the message self explanatory, funny, and yet understandable by everyone and i think i did suceed in that area. i put sylvester in for a couple of reasons,one was  because tweety mentions him in his message , it would have looked maybe a little to simple and well tweety nd sylvester are well in a way connected like mickeymouse and minnie and like pb & j they like glue. when i was makin this poster and deciding what to do next i kept thinking to myself “wow this class really did teach me somthing that was always right on front of my eyes and i never realized before” if it hadnt been coming to these classes i would have never learned everything i did about how the media has alot to do with the choices we make . like deciding what shirt to buy when you go to the store or like what type of shoes will i buy . it really made me think alot of the everyday decisions i make. the second piece i made well its still in process is a mickey mouse button. i actually had this idea about using mickey mouse for something visual since steve had told us we were gonna  make projects and post them on the web. i guess i thought bout mickey  since well hes known by everyone and loved by everyone .  i mean who doesnt like mickey lol he has been known for the longest nd i doubt he will ever become old enoguh not to love. one day i was browsing on the computer for pictures of mickey and well i found this one that looked rather interesting since this class is called culture spy and i thought i could really use this image and then once steve saw it and said that it was small enough for a button i really put my heart into it (lol ) it realy caught my attention and it was perfect to use. although its still not finished i know its gonna come out great! this class really did impact me in a way that it really made me think bout society and the media and how we see it being advertised we (teens) automatically want it. technically that is very true and i never really realized it untill i walked in this class. i never saw the pattern of marketers teens and then selling it to us . before i honestly thought most of the time that marketers just came up with most of the styles that have been seen to us before i thoghtb they made them upo nd sold it to us but now i realize that they technically stal our styles and sell it back to us and it made me think about this alot and now i think when i do go buy a new pair of shoes or a shirt ill think  twice before doing it im really gonna miss this class and steve and nick and john with his totally koo performances(lol) well i guess this is the end of my journey as an altra fabulous culture spier!
