Module 5 Scavenger Hunt

This poster advertising the class “Gender in News Media and Technology” uses imagery that has the denotative meaning of 4 women in different clothing and backgrounds giving a talk.

However, the poster also has the connotative meaning of unification and power empowerment. All four of these women come from either different careers or backgrounds as denoted by their outfits, but they are connotatively unified by the same red coloring in their clothing. From their suits, to the construction hat, to the head cloth, they all have the red color scheme bringing them together. The smiles and red blushes on the face also connotes a sense of confidence and happiness that empowers all four women.

This bell graphic that appears in every elevator is a great example of an iconic function. It bears a literal resemblance to a bell to inform people that the button can be used to run for help, similarly to a bell.

This “make summer a thing” poster is a great example of the use of indexical function. Instead of trying to use a literal image of summer, it uses graphics that are existentially related with summer. The watermelon is a fruit that is commonly eaten during summer times. The flamingo represents lawn flamingos or even inflatable pool flamingos that you would also see in the summer. The sun is a more literal representation of summer weather. The beach umbrella also invokes the idea of beaches and summer weather. The flower also invokes the relationship between plants flourishing and in the summer weather. While each of these graphics are not an iconic or symbolic image of summer itself, they act as an indexical function due to their pre-existing relationship with summer as a concept.

The recycle symbol on this recycling bin is a great example of a symbolic function. It is culturally accepted that the graphic of 3 arrows interloping in the triangle shape is the symbol of recycling. Even if the arrows have nothing to do with the act of recycling, it is a culturally accepted representation.

6. This poster advertising the class “Games and Society” is a great example of a graphic that references a past aesthetic. The font used in the header specifically references the pixelated aesthetic of video games fonts in the 1980. During the time, video game graphics were extremely limited, So this pixelated look came to define the aesthetic of the time period. This immediately invokes a feeling of nostalgia, as this era was such an iconic period of video game history.  #module5

Module 5: ME, MYSELF, AND OTHERS: DEVELOPMENT OF VALUES, PRINCIPLES AND IDEOLOGIES, LOVE AND ATTRACTION, AND RISK TAKING BEHAVIOR AND PEER INFLUENCES

[4/10/23]

This module had us discussing the different types of love and the different combinations of conditions there are. It felt like doing math and logic gates as a Computer Science student. Additionally, the topic of love languages was off-handedly mentioned. Made me realize that I perform acts of service to the people I care about. Must be something fulfilling when your efforts get seen.

Another topic in the module is about peer influence and risk taking behavior. Peers do give you the confidence you sometimes cannot give yourself. This can be a good thing or bad thing based on the peers in the context, tbh. Peer pressure for the purpose of being productive are best ones in my opinion. I appreciate the peers I’ve encountered here in this campus, I think I’ve changed of the better.

I thought of a funny meme regarding peers hehe

Image 1 is a design which has recipes for two summer looking cocktails. The donotative meaning of this design is giving us the information and recipe on how to make eahc of the cocktails. On the other hand, the connotative meaning of this design is encouraging the viewer to make them or at the least read the page through the bright colors, gropahics on the page, and the bold/multi colored title of the page. It gives the viewer te impression that the cocktails are fun and exciting, and maybe they can be too if they follow the recipe.

Image 2 is an exmaple of a piece of graphic design which has an iconic function. This image is an icon because it is showing a person walking, which it is what is being signicfied to the driver/pedestrian.

Image 3 is a piece of design which has an indexical function because it is advertising football, by showing the player which is an index.

Image 4 is a piece of design that has a symbolic function because it is a road sign which has a meaning/sign which only people from michigan know. What im referring to im the “M” which is culturally learned making it a symbol.

Image 5 has a label which has a font and design which references a past style. The past style which the product is trying to capture is a tuscan or italian aesthetic, and its trying to get the buyer/viewer to think that the product uses ancient, healthy, or homegrown ingredients.

I know I've complained about insanely lazy world building in FR so many times before but it really is something that in naming multiple critically important NPCs in Baldur's Gate who were all in similar positions of government and were all active during the early to mid 1480s (around Murder in Baldur's Gate time) we've got:

Five deputies who all report directly to the Council of Four. Of these five deputies, we have the following gentlemen

Harbormaster Erl

Master of Walls Osmurl, and

Master of Cobbles Esgurl

Don't slur or mumble when you're calling for an assistant in parliament because it'll take you a half dozen attempts to get the right Master Earl sent to your office apparently

Don't tell anyone but I love the thought of pornstar Bucky's girl asking to do livestreams with him. The thought of him taking the chat's lead?? Or reading the filthy things they're saying?? 🤤

"They're making fun of you, sweetheart." Bucky teases between chaste kisses placed to the soft inside of your spread thighs.

'Is she wet already?' The most recent message in the chat makes you squirm in your seat. Not that you're getting very far. Bucky is quite well known for his skills with a rope but he's left you just enough wiggle room that you can still grind your cunt desperately against the chair beneath you. It's not much relief but it's something.

"Of course she's wet already. Aren't you, baby? It doesn't take our girl long to get herself all worked up when she knows she's being watched." Bucky smirks up at you, his fingers trailing over the slick lace of your panties, gathering just enough of your arousal on his fingertips to show the camera.

'Our girl' doesn't sit right with you but you know it's all for show. You're his girl. Only his. Those people watching on the stream, whoever they are, mean nothing to you. You know he'll remind you of that later too. Reminding you that you're 'his girl', holding your chin so he can look into your eyes while he slides every inch of his length home over and over.

You whimper at the flood of messages into the chat as your viewers respond to the crystal clear evidence of your arousal on your partner's fingers.

'Fuck, she's making a mess.' 'Always such a good girl.' 'What I'd give to be able to taste her.'

The comments run up the screen so quickly you don't have time to read them all.

'She's so desperate, what a good little slut.' 'You've hardly even touched her and I'm already hard.'

"You're right, I haven't really touched her much, have I?" Bucky asks while reaching over for the wand vibrator he'd picked out for this stream. He clicks it on and the toy buzzes to life.

He seems satisfied with the lowest setting for now. Not that you are. That setting is almost always just for warm-up and that's not what you need in that moment.

"Please." You whine, tugging against the restraints, only feeling satisfied when your partner presses the soft, silicone tip to your clit, over your panties.

Everything feels heightened despite the low setting. You've been so turned on for so long that anything at all is welcome.

'Such a pretty little thing.' 'She sounds so hot when she whines like that.'

You hadn't even noticed yourself whining, much less the way you tried to grind yourself pathetically on the toy, trying to feel more than the featherlight touch Bucky was offering you.

You felt Bucky flicking the toy up a speed, startled by the groan that left your own throat. It sounded desperate. It was filthy and unrestrained and totally shameless.

"You like that?" Bucky's voice was all that could tear you out of your own head. He rolled the head of the toy in vertical motions, laughing quietly to himself when the sensation made you gasp.

'She's so loud tonight.'

The commenter wasn't wrong. You knew you were louder than usual, a testament to just how much you found yourself enjoying this.

"Sit still, sweetheart." You hadn't really registered what was happening until after it was done, although you'd agreed it beforehand anyway. Bucky carefully tugged the side of your underwear away from your skin, cutting the lace and then mirrored his actions on the other side. With the pretty blue lace in tatters, your sex was fully on display.

Bucky pulled the fabric free from underneath you, balling it up in his hand before pressing it to your lips.

"Good girl. Take it." You hadn't expected this. Automatically, brattiness takes over, your defiant natures tells you not to do as you're told. You hold out for a second, up until the toy clicks up one more speed and when you gasp in surprise, the panties are pushed past your lips, resting heavily on your tongue and you get to enjoy the taste of your own arousal.
