ADVICE


Using new media to improve the facilities at Baruch College could help bring students together. Baruch is a school where it is very easy to feel disconnected from your peers who could really be a resource to you, using your collective knowledge to help each other. Right now I am creating a graphic design portfolio to apply for Spring 2018 art internship. I had a hard time understanding what my portfolio should look like before I met with a professor. And only then I saw 3 or 4 example portfolios. Developing a creative common for the Baruch Arts department where students could share their work and their experiences. I have very little contact with other students in my major so it would be a helpful if we could have a platform to talk and share our work.

    Hi, Gabrielle! First, I hope you get the internship! Second, I like your suggestion about developing a creative common for Baruch. Most students, including myself, are in a business-related major, but I also have a lot of interests in Art. I think we should have more artists in school! And if Baruch could provide a platform where artists could share/exhibit their work (even if online), it could spark more interest from other students, and have more people participate in Fine Arts.

I like to think that we are at a stage where we no longer need any more "new media".

We already have online therapists and doctors that will make a house call from a text message. There is no longer any surprise when going to a restaurant because you have already seen pictures of every item on the menu on google maps, yelp, instagram, etc. One idea I had recently was to change what we see on our facebook newsfeeds. We all know that our facebook newsfeeds are catered to our interests, political opinions, careers and searches. I think it would be interesting if there was a feature that allowed you to see what other facebook users newsfeeds looked like. You could have a better understanding of what other people are exposed to day to day and perhaps understand why someone has developed such strongly differen

Creativity and New Media

Image
For this assignment using screenshots, I created a collage of the media that I find inspiring and related in their design and aesthetic. All of these images com from different media sites such as instagram, tumblr, facebook, google images, different blogs, and some from my own flickr account. I like to draw the parallels between media on different platforms to find a common theme or aesthetic. In this situation I am the audience and the creator. I think the style of my blog also reflects the style of this collage in its colors and mood.
