Wire Buyers

 

This week my radio group, newly named the “Wire Buyers” have been working on our project. We figured out our name and have designated some work to each person. I think it will be interesting to go through the episodes with the lens of product placement and marketing. For …

Radio Show Update #2: Avon’s Call Ad

I made the last ad for my group’s radio show. It’s a mash-up of The Wire in reference to Avon Barksdale and Avon Beauty Products. I really love it.

I think my favorite part is Prez saying, “It’s like a scavenger hunt.” It just seems to silly when juxtaposed with …

“The Energy We Bringing Is Sure To Carry”

I volunteered to make the logo for my audio group. In our meeting last night we decided on 76.5 as our name. I was right on it when I remembered that we had to make a logo so today that’s what I did. I had an idea of what I …

The Wired Child – A Brainstormed Radio Show

I keep seeing what I think of as “young” themes of childlike elements recurring in episodes of “The Wire”. Maybe it’s child-like innocence? Maybe it’s an innocence that’s lost, or wistfully hoped for but never attained in our view into inner city Baltimore. My vision for an audio project is …
