Today for our media lectorial we were asked to go out and explore the city and see how much media we could discover. As you could imagine, it was a lot.
shop fronts and displays
shop signs
sale signs
posters
grafitti
public notices
public art/sculpture
public protest
buskers
trams
Of course, there were many more things that I didn’t take photos of, such as my phone (which was taking all the photos), people’s clothes and accessories (yes, you are a walking piece of media, whether you like it or not), sales people, newspaper stands, people’s conversations, music, signs of all kinds, flags, giant billboards, billboards tv screens, lights, etc.
And that was only between LaTrobe and Bourke St…
This only proves how filled our world is with media, and how little control we have over our exposure to it.
