I am a media prosumer

This collage shows all the of the media that I interact with. This media help me communicate, entertains, gives me information and also helps to build me personal identity.

Entertainment includes:

  • Netflix
  • YouTube
  • Love Island

Social interaction:

  • Instagram
  • Facebook
  • Snap Chat

Personal Identity:

  • Music
  • Social Media posts
  • Clothing websites

Information:

  • Guernsey press
  • ITV news
  • Island FM

Knowing of all these types of media will help me with my Media Studies work. This is because I now know what types of things media include. After seeing what sort of media is the most popular it will really help me to create something hopefully most people will like. For example; I can include bright colours as most people enjoy how fun it makes the media look and how eye catching it is. The layout is also really important because it needs to be easy to understand and use. If the layout is confusing no one will want to read/ interact with it.  I may not have thought about the social interaction side of media before now. Therefore it will be something I really think about when making my magazine.

When I make my magazine I will be sure to make the audience want to engage with my media. I will do this by making it informative, entertaining, socially interactive and interesting.  This will also help to maximize the popularity of my magazine.
