Social+Influences


 * SOCIAL AND MEDIA INFLUENCES**

From Seinfeld to the Fresh Prince to the Three Stooges to Super Mario, both media and popular culture have transformed my life on so many different levels. Every single television series that I have ever let into my life from the late eighties through to the present have influenced how I am at this point in my life. The trouble making Bart Simpson, the wise-cracking Will Smith, the hard-hitting Brett Hart, the wacky Cosmo Kramer, the hero Joe Carter, the popular Zack Morris and the fearless Power Rangers mix together and intertwine to create me.

Media has a purpose and that purpose is to guide people to think in a certain perspective, dress with a certain style, talk in a certain way and act with a certain attitude. How is this possible though? How might Media and Popular Culture modify individuals? They don’t have any brain-washing devices, or do they? The answer to these questions is very simple, radio and television. Radio and television are the tools used by the media to manipulate its audience and more recently the internet.

The media can have a high influence on what you do, watch and how you live. This poster (created in Adobe Photoshop) involves some of the influences that have had an impact on my life; growing up in a media-dominating era. View and enjoy.
