The Project.
The task for this project was to produce a zine on the subject of a topic that communicates a message to the audience. Disconnected is a zine which outlines the underlying effects that excessive use of social media can have in different areas of our lives and the world. The zine works as an educational guide to social media and reveals some of the impacts that these platforms can have.
Project motivations.
Reasons for choosing this topic are that recently there has been a massive increase in social media use, and nobody really understands the implications of it. There are many hidden impacts that social networking can have on users’ mental health e.g. Loneliness, Insomnia, Depression, Anxiety, etc. which is one of the main reasons for producing this zine.
The colour scheme chosen is blue and white, as it relates to the 2 main social platforms Twitter and Facebook, which has been kept consistent throughout the zine.
