Advertising is in my opinion one of the most influential forms of media. It reaches people blatantly and subliminally and is constantly surrounding us. This picture shows the “Mr.Clean” logo that utilizes and unconventional surface for their advertusement. It also is an example of how familiar consumers are with cultural products. The image of a man with his arms folded is recognized as the character Mr. Clean with represents the brand. I thought this was an excellent form of advertising.
I found this piece of art called “preists of procrastination” and thought it was interesting that everybody looks alike but are all using different types of technologies for their procrastination.

Ok so, I love the show the office, so instead of just replicating businessweek magazine I made a parody of it using quotes from the office. Michael Scott the Manager of a paper company is always talking about how he subscribes to SmallBusinessMan magazine. So I used that and then used different quotes from him regarding business for the story teasers. If you don’t like the show you won’t like this, but I do so thats cool.
This is a cover of business week I used as a template for the parody I did.

Sufjan Stevens
“Sufjan spent months in isolation, reading books and biographies, memorizing the poems of Carl Sandburg, and rummaging through Saul Bellow’s novels. He uncovered police blogs and books on tape. He solicited correspondence from old friends, Illinoisans once lost or estranged; he studied travel guides; he quizzed chat rooms; he made stuff up. All research, he decided, begins with your imagination and with your intuition, relying heavily on the convictions of the heart. During those long winter hand-clapping, piano-playing, drum-rolling months, Sufjan’s heart began to expand, leaving its fist-shaped mark on a series of songs that not so much pay homage to the Prairie State, but rack and rend its characters through potato farms, steel factories, street fairs, marching parades, convoluted rivers, and centuries past and present”
His songs demonstrate a sense of intertextuality, weaving his interests in poem and other song that he incorporates and references in his own music.
