Creativity and New Media


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 think the style of my blog also reflects the style of this collage in its colors and mood.

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
