The influence of communication and media is seen in all walks of life. From checking the news online, watching YouTube on the bus, communicating with friends, undertaking paid work, to organising social events or cultural movements via social media, we are constantly engaged in a complex process of communication facilitated by media. For this assessment, you will consider the role communication and media has in shaping how we perceive and interact with the world. I will illustrate my thinking by producing a magazine cover. that connects to key communication and media ideas, concepts related to consuming media. Should include an introduction and outline of the presentation structure, including a brief overview of the scenario or media text you are going to analyse and the key concepts you will be applying to this example. Two or three concepts from any of the weeks’ topics (you can choose different concepts from different weeks) should be drawn on to develop an argument/angle for your project. How have your consumer choices been influenced by promotional culture?
