Choosing Topic

Upon receive our assignment brief, I was a bit struggled with which topic to work with. Usually I would just pick a question immediately, but there are so many possibilities with each of the questions for this module.

Question 1: It would be interesting to compare advertisements of local brands in different languages since we have so many different races living in Malaysia. Advertisements with different language definitely brings out different messages because of the play of words and cultural background.

Question 2: I love watching movies so this should be an enjoyment for me, but I had done similar topic last semester.

Question 3: Having interest in fashion, I have always pay attention to different (mostly streetwear) brands. And then I thought about local brands - How do they present their products?

Question 4: Another clash of culture and taste - I these kind of topics. But what local soap opera have I ever watch? Will they be accessable online?

Question 5: What makes this artist famous? Why? How? What was he doing before he became famous?

Question 6: Taking photograph is one of my hobby, but everyone has been claiming themselves as photographers these days, even when their photos look bad. I'm an active Instagram user and I've recently came across an advertisement about selling your iPhone photographs as stock. What has this hobby of mine become?

In the end, I chose to do question 3, because even though it's just consist of local market, there are still quite a lot of different style portrayed. There's streetwear, there's fashion event and there's people that sew and design their own clothes.
