During this class, we navigated conversation around critical media literacy as well as appropriation of art. Students had a chance to reflect on past social media posts and consider the digital persona they have created for themselves. Pairing one of their photos with an ad campaign or brand, students made critical connections between their own personal identity and how it relates to expectations set by society or the expectations they set for themselves.
Freckles #aerieREAL
My freckles have always been one of my biggest insecurities even from a young age and taking aeries campaign of empowering and normalizing “imperfections” through authentic photography is something that inspires my idea of self.

I used the Forbes magazine as an inspiration to showcase a glimpse of my goals. Being that I am in Student Government, I usually have to read articles about people who are successful and talk about leadership. We’d always have this positive mentality and try to relate to the magazines and articles that we read. For that reason, I chose this picture because I look somewhat confident and ready.

Glossier takes pride in natural beauty and flaws. I try my best to do the same. your flaws are beautiful.
I choose the Yugioh cards because it was something that brings friends together and it challenges your brain. These cards can be traded or you can search for rare cards on Amazon so you can battle at tournaments.

I used the layout of Vogue magazine because it think that their magazine embodies a sense of class and pristine. I admire the typography of most vogue magazines and the boldness of the cover pictures.
