My methods of research have been diverse, from analysis of a TV series episode, TED Talk and to a online essay by Stephen Fry - each have given me a different perspective on the dark sides of social media and what it means to use today as a society.
My design took inspiration from the visuals and metaphors that were presented in my research, mostly coming from the Black Mirror episode where various interesting reflective scenes were evident. They ultimately inspired the final outcome for the poster, which explores the potential fake personas people put out about themselves over social media, contrasting a more real version to try and invoke a reaction of the audience who might think of a time they have lied and possibly done something over social media that isn't necessarily real.
The aim of the project was to create awareness and promote the real life vs the fakeness of social media, that often disillusions an audience into believing that person leads a "perfect" life.
Totes, badges and a #hashtag for social media purposes were created for the sole purpose of a younger audience, which is the age range for the people who are mostly affected by the negative elements of social media.
