Media Diary Timeline

Below is my infographic timeline of one 24 hour period in which I logged anything I considered personal media usage. Media was defined as an intervening agency, means, or instrument by which a person or persons attempt(s) to communicate with another person. The thing that I learned from this project was not necessarily how much we use media, but how unaware we are of all the media that surrounds us. During the gathering phase, I became hyper-aware of every billboard, song, or advertisement that I came in contact with. This awareness likely, and rather unscientifically, influenced the outcome of my research.

Whipstitch Promotional Brochure

1940s WWII Poster

This poster is a "one-sided" exploration of pop culture during the first half of the 1940s. The style of the poster, especially the tank, is inspired by the airbrushed look of many of the era's World War II propaganda posters. The concept is twofold: All of popular American culture was overtaken or trumped  by the war effort. All of popular American culture seemed to join together in support of the war effort.
