About Media

Considering about media, I found something about the improvement. From ancient to contemporary society, media had gotten rid of the limited of distance and time gradually by technique’s development. Hysteresis of information begin to disappeared. In this case, the amount and the range of information that people are able to receive improved.

In the beginning, human only use their visional, smelling, auditory, tactile sense and gustation to receive information. Then they try to use voice, graphic as media to transfer information such as marks. Another obviously example is cave drawing. After language appeared, they even used words.

Then people start to used removable media such as leaves, paper and wood to write or draw information. However, distance limited the speed of information’s diffusion in this period. For example, the transportation of mail may cost several months from one city to another one.


Due to the media’s techniques become more and more advantage, people almost are able to receive information as soon as possible. In the contemporary society, there are variety types of media had been invented such as TV shows, films, radio station and even websites such as Facebook. Those helped people could receive information by anyways they want and without waste of time.

Asterios Polyp

I had read Asterios Polyp at this weekend. This is a unique graphic narrative because of its specific narrative. In this work, author use three skills to enhance contrast and complete the narrative. Firstly, the author showed same details or places with different situation to connect several parts of story and to give audience a contrast. For example, we saw the living room of Asterios’s house several times. And we will receive significant and clear information from author when every time we saw it.

When the first time we see the room, there are lots of cloth and trash on sofa and flood. Audience are able to realized Asterios’s terrible mood.
