Dominos

A couple of days ago, my husband and I had Domino's pizza for dinner. I was observing their boxes and what they looked like and how they are advertised. I have seen their boxes before and I hadn't ever thought twice about them or what they looked like, but after taking this class, I realized that they were well done. The way they had the font and they layout is something that catches my eye. For some people, it might be too crazy but the way it's put together, it catches my eye and makes me want to read what they are saying, and that's what I did. Something else I noticed is they have different types of things on each of their boxes. The pizza boxes read differently than the wing's box did and then the box where they put there desserts they offer was different than the other two. I think they are creative with the layout and also what they put on their boxes and it catches my attention.

Media Thoughts

Since being in this class, I have been noticing and thinking about media a lot more than I used to. I notice things on TV and advertisements. One thing I have noticed is how much I use media. On one of the first days of class, we discussed how much media is in our lives and what media is and it amazed me that media is pretty much everything. I never realized how much my life revolves around it. I am constantly having my phone, or on my computer. I love having music or background noise on when I am home or doing a task, it's all media. One thing that I enjoy about this class is that I am learning the positive and negative things about media and I really like that there are positive things about it all because I feel like sometimes it can have a huge negative aspect.

Everything is Awesome

This past weekend, I went and saw the Lego Movie. I wasn't sure what to expect from it before we went and wasn't sure how it would turn out, but I thought it was a very creative movie and it turned out to be an okay movie. I like how they ended it and you can tell there was a lot of thought put into all the little details of being a Lego. At the first part of the movie, there is a song they play that has a catchy tune and words. I saw it with some of my family and for the rest of the weekend we were singing the song, which has like three lines to it. It's interesting how a song can get stuck in your head and that's all you are doing is singing the song over and over again. I have posted about this before but it's another realization on how important music is in a movie and how it can change the feeling and what things you remember about it.
