Medium Collage

I decided to make my medium collage based on satellite radio. The first image I picked was the satellite, which is pictured above on the left. Broadcasts are projected from strong satellite signals that are able to extend beyond the original radio station ranges. I used the picture of the world to represent that satellite radio makes it possible for music, news, and more to reach a large audience of people from all different locations. Satellite radio has helped to mobilize music and reports (the message) for the everyday driver and that is why I included images of wheels on the bottom of the radio picture. Finally, I wanted it to appear that the notes were coming down from the satellite. These colorful notes in the background represent the audio (or the content) being played.

There are numerous consoles including: Nintendo, Play Station, Xbox, and more. The "gaming" scene has a rather large fanbase and new games, for all ages, are constantly being released.


2. Satellite Radio: Satellite radio is becoming more and more popular due to its ability to reach outside of the typical broadcasting ranges and its other various advanced features. Satellite radio provides listeners with commercial-free music from their favorite genres. It also keeps audiences up-to-date with the most sports and news coverage, weather reports, and traffic updates.










3. iPods/ iTunes : Apple, Inc. launched the iPod in 2001. There are 4 types of iPods: the shuffle, the nano, the classic, and the touch. The iPod features have expanded and developed over the years. iTunes provides easy access to downloading songs, videos, and more. iTunes and the iPod devices are convenient and combined, work to allow people to take their music, videos, and other media applications anywhere they go.
