My targeted audience were people of any ages who needed help and inspiration to do their makeup.

Hyperreality
The world in which we live in today has changed so dramatically and this is due to the internet paradigm. Our reality has drifted so much due to operational modes and effects that create a controlled reality. The key concept I’ll talk about today is hyperreality.

Distributed Media and Meme Warfare

Most of us presumed that the “medium” refers to the mass-media communications and that the “message” is the content or information, but this is where we should rethink it. Marshall McLuhan states that the message is “the change of aContinue reading “The medium is the message!”
