Hola!



My name is Dwight Stannard. I am from Burlington, Vermont.

The media experience that I had over break was my traveling to New York City. I've lived 5.5 hours away from it my entire life and had never been until now. I actually visited the city two separate times in the last week of our break; my justification for missing out all of these years.

In class, I brought up the idea of "Viral Marketing" (http://digitallabz.com/blogs/11-examples-of-viral-marketing-campaigns.html). I feel that this concept is the future of advertising. Reaching the public in unconventional ways, in every-day places (i.e. the internet, subway stations, malls, etc.).

What I do not like about the media today is the fact that we are rapidly loosing our right to privacy. This unofficial, unspecific right, (seemingly conceived by James Madison and several other framers) is slipping through our fingers, legally.

I am a musician, and also a dreamer. My goal is to establish myself in the world of music production. Chances are, I will begin in advertising. Ideally beginning as a studio assistant and making a name for myself as a audio engineer, and hopefully one day starting a label of my own.
