The first contemporary icon I chose is college football. I chose this icon because it is one of the most popular sports, especially in the fall. During this time of year when college football is on, people either can’t get enough of it or are completely sick of it. This icon means about 5 to 6 months of excitement and enjoyment to me. I will watch college football everyday during the season. This icon means a lot to me and it is my favorite past time.
The second contemporary icon I chose is ESPN. I chose this icon because is has dominated sports media for a long time. This sports network becomes a normal routine in people’s everyday lives, whether it be turning it on first thing in the morning or looking up the latest updates on their website. This icon is very important to me. I have been watching ESPN since I can remember and I will continue to do so.
The third contemporary icon I chose is gossip magazines. I chose this icon because they are all over the newsstands. The same topics or gossip is posted on dozens of magazines on a weekly basis, if not more. These magazines are everywhere where magazines are sold. This icon does not mean very much to me at all. I chose this one because my fiancé is obsessed with them. She buys a couple of them a week and I can see how from her how much people like them.
Hi Chad,
ReplyDeleteI think you and my husband would get along great! During football season he tries to watch a game every night and it drives me insane. He currently has a countdown of how many days are left until the first preseason game. Of course ESPN goes hand and hand with football, so he’s always watching that as well. On the other hand, I know where your fiancé is coming from, I love gossip magazines too!
Great choices Chad,
ReplyDeleteI know baseball is supposed to be the "great American past time," but I think footbaLl is #1. Although I'm a diehard Buckeye fan, I think college football as a whole is very exciting. Sometimes, I'd rather watch a college game, instead of a pro game. I love ESPN and can't remember a time when there wasn't an ESPN. I must admit, I do read gossip magazines, occasionally.
