Media is a huge part of everyday life in today's society. Media is used for communication among all different people throughout the world. There are all different types of media that target all different age groups. Media is also very important aspect in design. Media has a large impact on my artifact. My artifact is the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Media helps portray this specific place. For example the United Center was given many nicknames that all started through the media. The nicknames include "UC", "Madhouse on Madison" and "The House that Jordan Built." All of these names are still used today, and in fact these nicknames are more popular than the actual name United Center.
Another huge form of media used at the United Center is television and radio. The United Center has live broadcasts on both the television and radio for sporting events. These sporting events include Chicago Blackhawks hockey games, Chicago Bulls basketball games, college basketball games and the McDonalds High School All American Basketball Game. This is a popular arena that receives plenty of time on television. Since it spends a lot of time on television, the United Center is also opened up to many forms of social media discussing the arena and the activities going on in it.
