    Online masterpieces: DeviantArt as a platform of self-expression for Filipinos
    Cagalitan, Harvey B. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2018-05)
    This thesis was written to explore the usage of the second generation of Web 2.0, specifically DeviantArt, on how Filipinos can use it for their own self-serving ends. The specific problem of the study is: How DeviantArt can act as a platform for self-expression for Filipino artists? The research objectives formulated includes: describing DeviantArt's functions, describing the typical Filipino users/contributors on the site, identifying the different artworks submitted, analyzing the functions of DeviantArt in relation to the artworks, and evaluating DeviantArt in how effective it is in satisfying the needs of artists. Out of more than 3, 000 members of the Filipino-Artists group, 51 were able to answer the provided questionnaire. Based on the general trends of the results, the site achieves the gratifications sought by online users. Owing to the variety and flexibility of available functions of DeviantArt, contributors are able to post and organize artwork that suits their own interests, allowing the promotion of skill and attracting reputation amongothers.

    Amon, Abigail; Garzon, Ma. Mercedes (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-05)
    This research discusses the relationship between media exposure and the attitude of selected Iloilo City public junior high school students towards the indigenous peoples. Three hundred junior high school students from Bo. Obrero National High School, Iloilo City National High School, Mandurriao National High School, Ramon Avanceña National High School, and SPED - Integrated School for Exceptional Children served as respondents to a five-part questionnaire that included demographics, exposure to media and IPs, attitude, additional questions regarding the relationship between their media exposure and their attitude towards IPs, and the information they received and wished to receive from media. The researchers found that students were most exposed to online media and that they had low exposure to mediated content on indigenous peoples on all media platforms. It was concluded that respondents had an overall positive attitude towards indigenous peoples. Moreover, both the media industry and the educational system should be more responsible in supporting the IPs through wider media coverage and introduction to more media platforms.

    Anigan, Ma. Skamella P.; Sy, Alahna Sam C. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-05)
    The global rise of online advertising has consequently empowered blogging. In the Philippines, fashion bloggers are considered high-authority when it comes to trends as they serve as opinion leaders to their readers. This study looked into the common characteristic of fashion blog post elements. Through the analytical lens of the Multimodality theory, the blog contents of four high-ranking bloggers were content-analyzed. Results of the study showed that the characteristics shared by the bloggers are: emphasis on product size, high tonal contrast, balanced color contrast, placement in vertical center; medium long and medium shot framing; monoglossic, appreciative, emotional, judgmental, positively forceful, and sharply focused linguistic approach; and informal text.
