Applied Works is a data driven group project in which we had to choose a topic of interest, and present data in a visually appealing way. We chose the topic “social media effect on mental health”. We also chose to focuse specifically on teenagers, after having done a questionnaire narrowing down our target audience. Social media has been shown to have an overall negative effect on the majority of people using it.
Detoxagram
Detoxagram is an awareness organisation with the aim of improving young people’s mental health and well-bein, making them more aware of the negative effects of social media in their daily lives. We chose to design a limited publication in the form of a concertina fold-out book. It focuses on one of the most used social media outlets: Instagram. The design of an Instagram feed is one of the most universally recognisable layouts there is, and we chose to do the profile from the perspective of a young teenage girl.
