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!

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.

Welcome Kemar 06


The meaning of the title of the class is transforming images and moving forward. Media is a means of communcation like tv, radios , and newspapers. It can inform people or influence.

The type of media i brought was a newspaper and the message was a advertisment for movies. It was a metro newspaper and the movies it was advertising was The Ilusionist , The Last Kiss , and Gridiron Gang. The Last Kiss has two thems up and Gridiron Gang is based on a true story. The two thumbs up stand out because it is big and bold so it is probley a good movie.

The title of the class media that matters seminar: transforming-moving images and moving forward means that we are going to be focusing on transforming media and changing media into something that we're intersted in. media that matters means that we are going to be focusing on types of media that matter to us as students. lastly moving forward means thbat we are going to be activtly moving foward w/ our learning of what media is and how it's used all around us.

The type of media that i brought in today was a Teen Vouge magazine. In the magazine i shared an advertisement for a Dooney & Burke bag. It was obvious that the purpose of the advertisement was to convince people buy the bag. But who was the advertisement for? It was for teen girls. I came to this conclusion becasue the advertisement was in the TEEN vouge mag and because the person in the magazine that was holding the bag was in her teens. Thus shows that the message was directed toward a younger crowd.

Media is something that advertises another thing. For example, newspaper is a good piece of media because it advertise things. In this class, we are going to learn about this stuff. We are also learning how to promote positive change and we are going to be able to make videos. The piece of media I chose was a flyer that advertises an upcoming play in Boston. It has the date and the place. It even has a quote from a writer from the New York Times telling people about the play. It's message tells others how excellent the play is and it should be seen by young kids.

Explain the meaning of the title of the class -- I probably can't define 'Media that matters Seminar' better than the actual person who named the course that... but media that matters to me is numerous things. Media that matters to me is one that conveys a worthy message to society and moves people. I like to be surprised, so I would prefer to view new and surprising media.


My media and it's message -- The media I chose was a video documentary formulated by a theorist that believed the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11 was a hoax planned out by our own US government, for what reason. They show what I think is substantial evidence, that proves the attacks on the Pentagon on 9/11 was not what all Americans were made to believe was... Anyone can b made out of a believer by simply watching this and taking all the facts brought to the table into consideration if they don't let reasonable doubt overshadow statistics.

a) Media is like form of advertisement and seminar means a group of advance students studying results. When putting the two words together Media Seminar it might mean a group of students study different types of media.

b) The type of media I brought to the class is a magazine that had an ad about different designs of Jordan’s sneakers. I chose this ad because it is appealing to many teens and adults. I saw a image on the ad that had men playing basketball with Jordan’s sneakers. Lots of people that like to play basketball would probably want to buy the shoes, due to what the message is try to express.

My Media was an advertisement for a brand a car named the Lexus. They wrote MapQuest, Yahoo! Maps and Google Maps thanking them for giving there navigation system more straight ways and green lights so the drivers can experience the 303 horse with all wheel drive. It is a new model Lexus with new and better features. This advertisement it targeting mainly people that has there license and looking for a car.

What I think the title of this class means is a class which is taken to develops ones skills in computerized programs for personal proposes or advertisement proposes. Media mostly insist on still and/or moving images such as billboards, commercials on the t.v. or even sound which most likely comes from the radio.
"Welcome! by Mark 06"

The meaning of the title of the class, which is media is advertising anything through entertainment, billboards, news, and animation. My example of a type of media that I brought in was a XXL Magazine and it's advertisting hiphop. The main message that stands out the most is a picture of Tupac Amaru Shakur and it states at the bottom Life After Death. What they meant by life after death is that it has been ten years since his death and they're taking a recap from all of those years.
