Week 8: Topic 2

Topic 2:

The three magazines that I have picked up and read at a doctors or dentists office are, Sports Illustrated, ESPN Magazine, and any magazine that has to do with home interior design. I really like the two sports magazines because I play sports everyday and its something I am interested in. I haven’t read any of these magazines in a long time but I used to love looking at interviews of certain sports players. There would always be a section of an interview, describing their life as an athlete and what it took to get there. Also at the end of the sports magazines would be an art competition from people trying to draw portraits of athletes. I loved that section. The home interior design ones I really liked because I want to do something with design when I am older. It always had a lot of unique designs and material. Seeing that always made me happy. In a magazine I loved looking for big posters that you could take out, interesting facts that I didn’t know about players or designs, and cool action shots.  


The main advertisements that I remember in the sports magazines were always about watches, cologne, or something that an athlete Commercial for. I especially remember the watch ones because they always had really cool images with it. Peyton Manning would do Papa Johns ones, Chris Paul would do the insurance one, etc.. In the interior design ones it would be advertisements for furniture stores like Ikea, and would have other advertisements for food. As a consumer this says that athletes that read sports magazines, really enjoy commercials with famous athletes on them and that they really like watches I guess. The interior design shows that the people who read those magazines really like furniture and different designs to fit their house.

    I think it's interesting that you like interior design magazines for their materials and designs. I've never really thought about how people might like to look at the fabrics and patterns or design products like that. I have always liked to look at them for home decor ideas, or different brands that I like their style. I often give in to those ads that show stores like Ikea (half my house is from Ikea) and contribute to the growing advertisement industry. I also think it would be interesting to compare different interior design or home magazines to see what different ads they have in each of them.

Week 5: Topic 1

Topic 1: 1)          After watching the video, the first thing that really surprised me and caught me off guard was how many groups and artists have stolen the beats from older songs. When he first plays the loop of a Led Zeppelin song and the loop of a Muddy Waters song, you can tell that Led Zeppelin used some of the beats and words. Also the Rolling Stones taking some from the song “this may be the last time” recorded by a folk group in the late 50’s. These are two top bands that are widely known for their music and some of them isn’t even their original stuff. I love these bands and to see that kind of ruins the originality of their music. About a minute farter into the video it talks about the “happy birthday” theme song being a copyright issue, where if you play that in public you technically own royalties. I myself would owe tons of royalties. The next surprising information I learned that personally effected me, is the shut down of Napster. I used to use Napster back before i

Week 1 Topic 2

Topic 2: My three main source of information are Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. These are my go-to resources because they are so quick and easy to access. I am also already on those websites to connect with friends. While I am on there to do that there happens to be access to many different areas that I can pick up on the latest news. People tweeting about it or posting about something that happens in the world. I log onto twitter and it pops up the top streaming topics through hashtags. It could say something like #chicagoshooting and all I have to do it click it and it takes me to tons of different areas to read about what happened. If I am watching the news or something to her this information, I have to go through commercials and wait for the juicy news details. When answering the question "How reliable is the information?" it becomes difficult. I do not believe everything I see on social media because a lot of information put on there is very bias towards what is h

Week 1: Topic 1 (About me)

Topic 1: My name is Colton Cosner, and I have just left my two years at LBCC. My major is business and I need these last credits to complete my AAOT. I am at LBCC for baseball and have really enjoyed my time here. My career goal is to become a business owner or graphic designer one day. I am most interested in learning about the impacts that social media has on society. With how fast it is growing and how little we fully know about how it has effected us, I am excited to learn more about it. I am most passionate about baseball as my outside hobby. I played for two years at Linn Benton and am currently playing in Bend for the summer. Baseball has given me many opportunities to do great things and meet great people. It has opened doors for me, and I am excited to see where it takes me next.
