You as a media consumer

In order for you to practise your new skills, you will need to produce a GLOGSTER all about you as a media consumer.

This means you need to look at all the ways in which you consume media and which programmes, stations, artists and stars you like etc.

YOUR TASK
Using GLOGSTER (and not EDU Glogster), create a poster that you think represents your use of media. Log in is coombemediastudent p/w is the usual - surname of miss plus room number she teaches in (but you can set up your own free account).

You need to download and clip/crop images from the internet and edit in PREVIEW.

You can annotate these images too in PREVIEW (- adding text boxes, bubbles and callouts (Speech boxes) - see 'Tools') as well as right in GLOGSTER.

You should label any images that might be unclear to others.

MEDIA USE:

Consider the following:
Advertising - still and moving (including any 'covert' advertising)
TV
Cinema
DVD/Blu-Rays
Films - internet/tv/mobile/ipad
Phones - mobile incl iPad
Radio
Billboards (big posters)
Music
Bands/Band websites
The internet itself - think Google :-)
Social Media
Video games
