Indept Interview on Psychology of Collector
MKTG340 001 Ada, Fan Hio Tong
Background Review and Observation Notes on the first interview (Yen’s Interview)
The second interview was constructed with an ordinary working person in the society, Yen. She works in Casino and she lives in a family of six including her beloved cat. Like many of the girls, she likes reading magazines. She even collects magazines as her habit. This collection has been doing for almost a year and will be continuing in the future. Her main collection is fashion magazines.

I went to her house and conducted the interview inside her bedroom. She is very nice and friendly to allow me to go to her bedroom and offers me some fruit juice to drink. Inside her bedroom, I can see lots of magazines under her bed. The space at the bottom is nearly being utilized by placing those magazines. She explained that her house is too small.

During the interview, she is very relaxed in talking about her experiences and thoughts while she is doing her mask. In addition, she seemed to bit a little bit distracted because her cat came inside and kept wandering around the room. That is why she often paused and thinks during the whole interview.
Through her conversation, I can see that she is a very straight forward person who speaks what she thinks and she is very willing to share her experiences and stories during the interview.

In-depth Interview Summary 2 (Yen’s Interview)
A sense of changing when giving a step to the society
In talking about her turning point of collecting magazines, the norms in the society have affected a lot. She started her collection after her university graduation when she got her first job. She believed that it can help her to learn to become better-looking after having read the fashion magazines. This is because she thinks that when she stepped out to the society, appearance has a heavy weight in determining chances and people relationships. But why did she collect these magazines instead of just having a glance

    For my interview I choose to speak to Jaquetta Harris, executive director of the leasing department at the Rochester Housing Authority (RHA).

    Analysis Of J-14 Magazine

    • 1515 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Nowadays there are tons of magazines that talk about gossips and encroach on the supposedly exciting lives of famous people, and J-14 is one of those. The particularity of this magazine is that it is completely targeted for teenagers between 12 and 15 years. J-14’s articles and images are full of topics related to beauty, fashion, love and tips; therefore, it is correct to say that is completely oriented for girls. Talking in a more general fashion about its content, one could say that the magazine is superficial and that it does not touch or contribute to any relevant topic in society. A person with a mature criteria and education can realize easily that J-14 is not giving teenagers any useful learning; contrarily, it is forming false and…

    Imagine a 25 – 49 year old woman – the professional woman whose style is effortless and chic, she’s not afraid to play it down a little and opt for jeans on the weekend. That is your average Harper’s Bazaar reader. Now, think of the woman who is racy, she chooses pumps over flats, and she is between the ages of 25 to 34 years old – she is most likely an avid Vogue reader. Although these target readers seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum, both of the magazines that they read are strikingly similar, with minor differences.…

    Everybody is a Collector Everybody collects something! Whether it be photographs of a person‟s vacation, ticket stubs from ballgames, souvenirs of trips, pictures of one‟s children, athletes‟ trophies, kids report cards, and those who collect “junk” (pack-rats) and dispose of it in garage sales. The Evolution of Collecting On the more formal side of “collecting,” it does seem that growing up as “kids,” we all collected something we made into a hobby. It could have begun with baseball cards, marbles, or stamps. Then it moved on: to antique books, Longaberger baskets, state quarters, or Atmos clocks. For others it was collecting the really unusual that worked best for them. People actually collect: bad poetry, barbed wire, knock-knock jokes, wax paper liners out of cereal boxes, swizzle sticks, string, mouse pads, phone books, type fonts, clothing of famous people, or Mersenne primes (prime numbers). Indeed, some collectors even collect collecting guides! And, speaking of the unusual, what about the names for the people who collect things? An archtophilist collects teddy bears, a deltiologist collects postcards, a numismatist collects coins, a vecturist collects subway tokens, and a clock collector is a horologist. Horologists are Special A note on being a horologist, it‟s tough. Compared with the collectibles noted prior, collecting clocks requires that consideration be given not to just what is seen, but what is also on the inside, the mechanical stuff, and whether or not it “works!” As a case in point, the Hiller Talking Clock (circa 1911), to work needs a celluloid tape. Of the known Hiller clocks only one has the accompanying tape. Indeed, even the two Hillers in the NAWCC Museum, nor the two Hillers in the authors collection, “run.” The author, who collects talking clocks, not only deals with the passive display of time, but the clock has to literally “tell” (talk) the time, and in many instances, the…

    Being an avid reader of Vogue Magazine this past year, I also found that journalism had an impact on my speech, using more complex and formal vocabulary, and influencing me on my view of people, as far as what they do and the other half being how they dress. Today, I find myself practically disgusted with how many people tend to dress, which may be a good or bad thing that was produced through reading Vogue every month for my senior year of high school. I don’t usually subscribe to magazines (with the exception of Vogue this past year), not since I was 11 and couldn’t wait for my next issue of MAD Magazine, but through reading more things online on magazine websites, I find that soon enough I may subscribe to several. My drive to be more in the know with things that only journalism…

    According to Adriana, her journey started way before she ever realized what her new achievement would be. “I was considered to be ‘pretty.’ At least that’s what I was told very often by friends and peers. That alone was a great encouragement to pursue modeling, which I somewhat tried… but quickly gave up,” Adriana said in a quite annoyed tone. During her years in high school she was highly interested in fashion, found beauty in expressing oneself through the use of clothing, and most important, believed that anyone should have the right and chance to be involved in the fashion industry.…
