Another aspect of my new media literacy that I like is my new critical eye. This class really made me look at things in a new light, such as political websites, new media, news, etc. Some of the work we did in class, or even some of the artwork that was shown to us, made me see how easily people can change other people’s work, and create something totally new and different. I like being able to create things like that, such as my appropriations or magazine cover parody, because it gives me a lot of freedom to express myself in a new manner. However, it also makes me realize how easy it is for people to change the meaning of something, or someones work, that already is out there.
