New beginnings

 Starting out For our group project we will be researching about cancel culture and online shaming, in my own terms cancel culture is when someone is shunned or rejected from a social circle and this can take place on social media or even your social life, online shamming is the when you get harassed by internet users on social media. Both online shaming and cancel culture has had drastic affects on people but especially celebrity's because they have a huge fan base, the most extremes case of this is the Logan Paul incident. The part that interests me the most is the effects  that online shaming can have, one of them is how your mental health can drop significantly because it seems like the whole world is against you. An example of this would be famous musician Travis Scott, he deleted his Instagram account due to his fanbase turning on him.   Travis dressed up as batman in a brown costume to match the colour of hos cars, fans didn't like this and swarmed his social media...

 Peer review For this week I was tasked with reviewing blogs from my peers, both blogs were delightful to read and both blogs gave me a different insight on how I can improve my own style of writing, I also read four articles, two on receiving feedback and two on giving feedback.

Experiment on feedforward I see this as a very optimistic view point on receiving feedback, it also sounds a lot better when you help someone and show them a way to improve rather than saying this, that and this is wrong, it shows your dwelling on someone's weak spot and making fun of it in...

 Production process The video I was tasked with watching was filled with constructive information on design thinking, in my own words, I would say design thinking is undergoing a creative process to successfully understand the needs of a certain product. Design thinking is a hot topic when it comes to marketing, every company would most likely have a team dedicated to this role so it's always key to keep it in mind for anything. Social media is always changing and adapting, so having design thinking skills is one thing that may help you tackle things like product design or project work; different social media companies are always thinking of ways to engage their users and having design thinking skills will be essential for this role. All digital media projects should apply design thinking so the team has an ethical way of gathering their information to gauge the audience, research the needs and wants but also ease the quality of life for the user, have prototypes and finally run te...
