me‧di‧a1[mee-dee-uh] Pronunciation Key
–noun
1.a pl. of MEDIUM
2.(usually used with a plural verb) the means of communication, as radio and television, newspapers, and magazines, that reach or influence people widely: The media are covering the speech tonight.

sem‧i‧nar[sem-uh-nahr] Pronunciation Key
–noun
1.a small group of students, as in a university, engaged in advanced study and original research under a member of the faculty and meeting regularly to exchange information and hold discussions.

Judging by those two definitions freshly copied & pasted from Dictionary.com, I'd suggest that Media Seminar is where we would analyze different types of widespread types of communication, then discuss them to get different perspectives and an overall better understanding of whatever it is that that certain media portrays. Be it advertising, propoganda, or perhaps just plain entertainment.
As for my own piece of media, I've chosen to go with a Kool Ciggarette ad I found in a magazine. In it there's some hipster-looking fellow smoking a ciggarette, and it says something about DJ'ing. On the other side (it's a pamphlet kind of ad) there's a few pictures of some random DJ's and some more ciggarette advertising. I think the message in this media here is simple: Smoke Kool Ciggarettes and you too can become a famous DJ!

Media that matters Seminar means anything that has something to do with telling people about things. It is informing people on new things and telling them how it works. the type of media that I WOULD have brought into class was a picture I got from my friend's house. It captures her youth.

1. Explain the meaning of the title of the class. Media that is important to us. Transformation change for instance, the way we have change from freshmen currently to juniors.
2. I brought in an ad on jeans that celebrities wear. The fact that celebrities are advertisng the jeans would make sales for those jeans go up. The message of this media is that since celebrities wear their product, you should too.

The meaning of the class name is to understand and decipher media and everything it stands for. For example, the images that we see on the internet and in magazines are forms of media that people use to get their products out on the market. In these images they always use the new fad to better sell their products. There resoning is to try to reach a certain demographic that their product best fits.
I think the title of the class is o. k but i think it should be the same because all we do is talk eat and sleep media

"Media that Matters Seminar: Transformation - Moving Images and Moving Forward" means making a positive change. For example, from our freshmen year to our junior we have grown to be more productive in ourselves. In our freshmen year, we were trying to get familiarize with our surroundings and get to know people. But as we grow into our junior year we begin to get serious with our work constantly challenging ourselves to be the best of the best.

The type of media that I brought in is an image of a fashion model that I found from the Internet. The message that the image is proposing is that if you want to look and feel beautiful you have to be skinny.
