October blog feedback and learner response

WWW: I like your Semiotics blog work clearly using media terminology from the lesson in your analysis. Good use of examples to develop your understanding of semiotics furthers by analysing the Starbucks and L'Oréal advertisements. EBI: Two key areas to improve here: firstly, some of your work is missing or unfinished and it’s important to make sure you are organised and fully completing work, you have not published since the middle of September. Make sure you post the Reading an Image, Reception theory, Genre, and Narrative blogs as soon as you can. On a side note, try and develop your exposure to other forms of media such as Newspapers, Radio, and Magazines to ensure you are exposed to a variety of different media. LR: Complete any missing or unfinished work.
