Introduction: The new life at Univeristy

My name is Alexander ‘Alex’ Mastronardi. I am currently a first year student at the University of Wollongong. I am studying a Bachelor of Communications & Media Studies. Throughout this degree I will be undertaking the subjects necessary to meet the requirements of achieving the Digital Media Communication major and the Marketing Communication and Advertising major within my BCMS degree. My main digital media interests include the fast growing and ongoing use of social media as a method for business marketing, e-business, YouTube and digital content creation.

My experiences with Digital Media have included the extensive use of multiple social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. I also studied I.T: Multimedia as apart of the HSC where I created a music video and CD artwork for my final major project. I also completed various other projects during my Multimedia subject, such as creating a film trailer, and developing various design, management, communication (DMC) portfolios.

I recently moved to Wollongong in late November of 2016 in order to prepare for the commencement of University in February 2017. After I complete University I would like to pursue the career path of a Digital Media Manager and work for a corporate level company.

During my tertiary study, and in classes such as BCM112 and BCM110, I will be completing frequent blog posts, where I will combine text posts with other media formats such as memes, gifs, YouTube Videos and Podcasts.

I look forward to creating more content and further expanding my online presence, as such, please follow my social medias located in the sidebar of my blog.
