Dearest friends, neighbors, and comrades of Vox,
As some of you may or may not know, one of my majors in school is that of Media Studies, the theoretical and academic investigation of Media. As a second semester senior, it is now my current responsibility to formulate a collective artifact of my studies throughout my academic career in a Media Studies Senior Project, or thesis project if you will.
The project is to be wrought in the form of a multi-faceted mini graphic novel of sorts, most likely constructed in Flash for the purpose of animating certain attributes and enabling the incorporation of sound, movie, interaction, etc. I wish to tell the tale of three characters: one who is media saturated, one who is mid-media saturated, and the last who hardly uses 'media' at all. The point of the project is to develop a sense of the way we encounter media in various ways, and most importantly, how we relate our identities with such media.
This is where you, yes you my Voxer, come in. Over the course of the week I've managed to gather survey input from close friends and family to inform the personalities/characteristics and motions of the three characters featured in the piece. If any of you would be interested in participating in this cumulation of identities, mediated or non-mediated, I would be forever thankful. The survey would be kept entirely anonymous, and other than a snippet of personality or a particular phrase to be included in the final piece, you would be left safely out of the frame.
Please let me know if you're interested in contributing by either commenting or messaging me, and if so, I will e-mail you the survey and give you mad props in the credits of the piece. I'm amidst generating the characters as we speak (at the wee hours of the post-time), and whatever response I can get, I'll take.
So thank you in advance, both for reading over this rather despondent plea of a second semester senior attempting to graduate, and for participating.
Hearts, domo-kuns, and multi-layers,
