Here’s the third Image Cloud project prompt and ads from the 1960’s, below.
1) Chose ONE advertisements to analyze from those provided.
2) Brainstorm a word/phrase list related to the image: write down whatever comes to mind regarding the advertisement. What do you see? What don’t you see? What are the shapes? Colors? Messages? Objects? Symbols? What is it trying to “say”? What creative materials and forms are used within the image (mostly photography? Illustration?), etc…Let your mind wander…
3) Now, start Googling for images using your word and phrase list from the Brainstorm above and save them for use in your Image Cloud.
4) Open up GIMP (or whatever image editing software you have) and start creating your Image Cloud…and have fun! 🙂 Create your finished JPEG file and combine that into one document as a PDF with the above Word List and following Discussion text (do NOT include the original, saved GIMP file on your computer! As per the GIMP Training Video, FIRST save your Image Cloud collage as a GIMP file with layers, THEN “merge” all the Layers, THEN “Export As” as a JPEG format, THEN close GIMP (you can “Discard” any changes if it asks if you want to save them) once you are finished.
5) Next, do a short description/writeup about why you chose the images you did and how you feel it all works together, and also includes these discussion elements as well about the ad:
A) The “Literal Message(s)”
i) What are the literal, obvious things that are in the image? Do a direct, literal description of what is in the ad
B) The “Linguistic Message” – If there is text in the ad, evaluate it by discussing:
i) “Denoted” text: What are the linguistic messages (tag lines, other text in the ad, etc) that are obvious that are in the advertisement (if any…some ads many not have a lot of words in the them, or any).
ii) “Connoted” text: What are the messages in the text that are inferred? Meaning, what might the “hidden” messages be within the printed text? What are the words trying to say if it is not direct?
C) The “Symbolic Message(s)”
i) Find the signs or symbols that are within the Image (rather than the text). What are the NON-verbal (non-linguistic) parts of the message the advertisement is trying to show you? What does the “art” part of the ad (the illustration, the photograph, etc) say without using words? Just do your best to come up with things to find and talk about here!

Class: Emerging digital media
Intro and Context
We have covered a lot of topics and technologies in this course. Some have likely been more interesting to you than others. Your final project asks you to home in on a topic that is of particular interest to you, conduct research on that topic, and to then write an exploratory paper on what you learned.
Assignment Specifics
Step 1: Pick a Topic
Choose a topic that is both interesting to you and that is relevant to this course,  emerging digital media. While you are free to pick your own topic, it would be a good idea to clear it with me—the sooner the better!
Step 2: Create a Research Question
A good research question will help to guide your research and your writing. Put simply, a research question is a question that you want to answer about your topic, one you will need to conduct research to answer.
Characteristics of a Good Research Question
Good research questions are complex, clear, focused, concise, and arguable.
Complex
The question is not answerable with a simple “yes” or “no.”
✘ Does global warming affect ASU students?
✔ What is the effect of global warming on ASU students?
Clear
The question is specific enough that the audience can understand the purpose without needing more explanation.
✘ What is the effect of global warming on ASU students?
✔ What are the effects of climate change on ASU students’ social lives?
Focused
The question is narrow enough that it can be addressed thoroughly in the proposed project.
✘ What are the effects of climate change on ASU students’ social lives?
✔ What are ASU students’ perceptions of the relationship between the global phenomenon of climate change and their individual social lives?
Concise
The question employs the fewest words possible.
✘ What are ASU students’ perceptions of the relationship between the global phenomenon of climate change and their individual social lives?
✔ How do ASU students perceive the relationship between climate change and their social lives?
Arguable
The potential answers are open to debate.
✘ How many ASU students report that global warming affects their social lives?
✔ How do ASU students perceive the relationship between climate change and their social lives?
Step 3: Conduct Research and Find Information
Based on your research question, consider the kinds of disciplines that would be interested in your topic and answering your research question: media studies, film studies, psychology, history, etc. Next, use the ASU library databases to find scholarly journals those disciplines tend to publish scholarship in. Search keywords, article titles, and special issues for relevant articles. You should find and use a minimum of three scholarly sources.
Step 4: Write Your Exploratory Essay
Background and Context
Compose a section that provides readers with the necessary background information and context to understand your topic. What do readers need to know about your topic in order to understand all that follows.
Research
Here, you should lay out your research question, how you conducted research (the disciplines you looked into, the journals you searched, etc.), and what you found. You should briefly summarize the three articles you found that helped you to answer your research question and note how they did so.
What You Learned
In this section you will do your best to answer your research question, using both your ideas and those of your sources. Here you will discuss what you learned about your topic and discuss possible answers to your research question.
Why It Matters
In this section, you will describe the importance of your topic and how/why it affects others.

In the field of Digital Hustle, where people seek and utilize the opportunities presented by the digital side of the world to gain economic value or pursue their goals. Understanding digital nomadism as portrayed on platforms like TikTok has significant importance. Digital nomadism is a lifestyle where people can work and travel at the same time, due to their set of skills. This lifestyle is fully linked to the spirit of Digital Hustle, where human beings seek to maximize their autonomy and flexibility in the chase of professional and personal goals. By exploring how TikTok portrays digital nomadism, we can gain knowledge into how this way of life is commodified, romanticized and seen by others in the digital space. 
The rise of digital nomadism, supported by many platforms like TikTok, shows us the sudden connection between globalization, technology and culture. In recent years digital nomadism became really popular among young individuals. Even with the popularity the topic lacks scholar research into how the concept interacts with neo-colonialist dynamics. Therefore, this research is done to fill in this gap by examining the TikTok model of the digital nomad lifestyle through the lens of neo-colonialism.  
This research will demonstrate that the digital nomadism movement tries to empower positive aspects of life, such as freedom and mobility. Nevertheless, accidentally may steer to the creation of power imbalances and cultural hegemony. However, I believe that these portrayals may lead to potential ways for challenging and unsettling neo-colonialism discourse. By accurately analyzing TikTok content, this study aims to shed light on the “hidden” power dynamics and cultural representations that shape the digital nomad discussion on the platform. Through this analysis, the research intends to show both the protraction of neo-colonialist ideologies and ways for resistance and destruction of the idea within digital spaces.
The theoretical framework for this research draws from critical postcolonial theory, cultural studies, and media studies. These theoretical angles provide a lens through which to look through and analyze the complex bond between digital nomadism and neo-colonial dynamics. Postcolonial theory offers insights into colonialism and imperialism, highlighting the ways in which relations of power and dominance can be still seen in contemporary society. Cultural studies provide tools for understanding how cultural practices and representations reflect and perpetuate power relations. Media studies give us the structure for analyzing the whole chain of production, distribution and posting of media content on the main topic.
The main concepts such as cultural appropriation, Othering, and the commodification of culture will be used as tools for analyzing the TikTok model of digital nomad and its connection to neo-colonialism. For example, in “Decolonizing Methodologies” by Linda Tuhiwai Smith, the concept of decolonising gives a structure to critically analyze the representation of marginalized groups “..the term ‘research’ is inextricably linked to European imperialism and colonialism… When mentioned in many indigenous contexts, it stirs up silence, it conjures up bad memories, it raises a smile that is knowing and distrustful.” This ideas and concepts will be used to understand and challenge the connection of digital nomadism and neo-colonialism.(2012, 1)
Similarly, in “Empire of Signs” by Roland Barthes, the idea of semiotics and the construction of meaning in cultural texts will be used to deconstruct the visual and textual elements seen in TikTok videos, uncovering underlying power dynamics and ideologies. (1983)
This research will acquire a qualitative approach, by analyzing visual content of TikTok featuring digital nomad topics. A data set of TikTok videos will be selected based on relevant hashtags such as #digitalnomad, #travel and #digitalnomadism. These videos will be analyzed for patterns and discourses around digital nomadism. Therefore, to see how power relations are built and discussed within the Digital Nomad community.
Moreover surveys via email may be done with digital nomads that creat content on TikTok. This will be done to get insights into their experience and opinions, enabling us to understand the topic more broadly. Additionally, comment observation of digital nomad communities on TikTok may provide valuable insights into the experiences of individuals working on and producing digital nomad content.
Overall, this research is done to provide a large-scale exploration of how TikTok’s portrayal of digital nomad connects with neo-colonialist dynamics, giving knowledge into the potential for both perpetuation and resistance within digital spaces. Exploring neo-colonial dynamics through TikTok’s model of digital nomadism is important within the context of Digital Hustle, as it sheds light on the mutuality of technology, globalization, and cultural representation. By understanding how digital nomadism is constructed and perceived within digital spaces, we can build strategies and initiatives that promote ethical engagement, non-biased behavior and empowerment within the digital economy.
