Use animation to illustrate the negative effects of doomsday scrolling and promote healthy social media habits. This type of content can be engaging and educational at the same time.
My project seeks to address the negative effects of doomsday scrolling by developing physical deliverables to help addicted users. Through creative and engaging videos that highlight the absurdity of this behavior, my project will raise awareness and encourage healthy social media habits among TikTok users. In addition, I will explore the potential of animation to illustrate the negative effects of doomsday scrolling and promote healthy social media habits. Overall, my goal is to provide value to the next generation of entertainment and foster a positive relationship with social media.
Creative Direction
Videos: I created short videos that highlight the absurdity of doomsday scrolling and its impact on mental health. Used Zombie animation and visual effects to make the videos engaging and memorable. These could feature humorous or satirical designs to grab attention and make a lasting impression.
Tool Kit: Created a tool kit that encourages users to take breaks from social media and raises awareness about the negative effects of doomsday scrolling. The tool kit includes tips and strategies for promoting mental well-being and healthy social media habits.
Zines and Posters: Developed zines and posters that serve as reminders to users about the negative effects of doomsday scrolling and the importance of taking breaks from social media.
