What I wanted to communicate and convey in this image pertains to Battle.net, an online gaming service provided by industry giant Blizzard Entertainment. The whole gaming culture in of itself is very developed and highly personal, and the computer is the first step. I chose an Alienware laptop, a well known builder of computers designed for gaming to show the advanced and sleek design of the entire gaming culture. The computer is also the basic mediium through which all the others i will discuss run through. Battle.net is linked up though many Blizzard games such as Starcraft and World of Warcraft. Millions of people play these games daily and these gamers have their own little society through using Battle.net. The system allows you to fully integrate a social experience by keeping track of your friends and activities as well as notifying you when you interact and play the games with total strangers. This is what Battle.net does very well, allowing you to make and grow relationships with people who these games. The message of this medium is the social experience and happenings inside a virtual world. This is unique in video games as it helps you become a more involved into the digital community and interact on a more human level as opposed to the anonymity that is the norm for most online gaming and socializing.
good work
