Week 3- session 1

Class Work and Research

We had a lecture on type and how the type that is used can carry meanings of its historical use. This helped to show that the type of type does influence how the message of the poster is conveyed. This will help me when I choose type and imagery and be cautious as to their historic or other known meanings. We also discussed our concepts further and brainstormed words that could be used together with our imagery to make the message of our posters clearer. We learnt how we could address our issue from a particular stand point by addressing an issue within the standpoint. This helped me to understand the brief better and therefore developing my project.
From the concept of social media and how people sometimes can't distinguish the difference between the real world and the digital. I decided to add the concept of Facebook weighing people down, and that people should let go of the digital Facebook environment and experience the real. I changed my view from research to be slightly more against rather than for social media.

Researched into the affects of over use of Facebook.
