LINK: EATPES
PES Films does really interesting stop-motion animation. Pieces such as "My Pepper Heart" are more simple, but very effective. Others like "Western Spaghetti" is extremely complicated and looks very difficult to create, but is incredibly interesting and compelling

LINK: COCK. BULL. STORY.
Mixed media artist Nikki Farquharson's bookwork entitled "Cock. Bull. Story" demonstrates how meaning can be re-interpreted. This relates to media messages such as those related to fashion because it shows that messages are not necessarily straightforward.

LINK: BRANDED
Alissa Quart's book entitled "Branded: The Buying and Selling of Teenagers" is an expose of the many advertising tactics impacting the consumer culture of teenagers. Currently, Google Books has a section of the first chapter available online. I found it to be a very interesting read, detailing the various ways in which advertisers bombard teenagers with images of branding. It is both amusing and thought-provoking.
