GCSE MEDIA STUDIES - WHY SOME ONLINE NEWSPAPER WEBSITE LAYOUTS "SUCK"

Perhaps not the most articulate or charming description but an excellent resource for helping you design your own web page layout should this question come up in the exam.  Learn HOW NOT to design bad web pages and look at the best examples of on-line sites.

Thanks to Andy Rutledge for this resource.  Andy reckons:

"Online Newspapers are 99% Bad



Given the fact that online newspapers are supposed to attract huge numbers of readers and ad consumers, why is it that almost all of them are examples of the worst the web has to offer in the way of readability, design, layout, usability and information architecture? Even the best of them are relatively poor examples of these important factors."

The chap and "chappishness" is a very British concept. Check out "The Chap" website and magazine. Here is the latest chap Olympiad. What do you think are the basic characteristics of chappishness? From the film below, is chappishness exclusively a male representation? What do you think is the appeal of being a chap to these "chaps"?

THE CREATIVE AND MEDIA DIPLOMA

Following on from yesterday's session, I have placed the PowerPoint on my site. You can download it directly from here or go to the Slideboom website where you can also find more of my resources. There is a PowerPoint called Vampyre that I created a couple of months ago which is aimed at aiding original writing/storyboarding/scriptwriting and drama activities.

Please feel free to become a "Follower" of my blog in order to be kept up-to-date on new posts and teaching related materials.

Thank you for all the feedback I have received and for all your contributions to the discussion yesterday which proved most productive. As you can appreciate, we could only scratch the surface of the issue but it is clear that there will be many interesting times ahead!

AS AND GCSE MEDIA STUDIES: REPRESENTATION

Four months ago a really underrated sci-fi actioner escaped under the radar. "Surrogates" starring Bruce Willis addresses some extremely interesting issues about modern society including the way we represent ourselves and interact with others. I assume it will be out to rent very soon and would recommend it highly. Here's a taster from the trailer.

AS AND GCSE MEDIA STUDIES: REPRESENTATION

Creating the "perfect" you. Our image is one way we represent ourselves to people. Our perceptions of self may differ from the perceptions others have of us. Creating an image of ourselves is all part of representation. Think about your image as a college student. Does it conform to established ideals and ideas of how a college student should look and even behave?

Think about pre-conceptions of the archetypal media studies teacher or perhaps even a stereotypical media studies teacher! Cords? Beard? Black polo neck jumper!

You can represent yourself as a cartoon using free software.

Here's a representation of a certain tutor created using a neat piece of software at myWebFace at

http://home.mywebface.com/faceApp/

It's free to download, safe and fun. I know some of you may even use this or similar software to create avatars from Facebook etc.

Why not cartoon yourself in a way that you would like to represent to others? Is this the perfect you? Would you feel more comfortable if this was your image?

By now you should have realised that the reality usually falls sadly short of the ideal or at least this is certainly true of this teacher - sigh...
