(Dis) Connection
POSTER DESIGN
BRIEF
Today’s society claims to be the most connected using the internet, but it lacks basic human interactions. These posters portray this disconnect. They were created from a culmination of 60 previously made collages based on this concept. Evolving this idea of disconnect, these posters tell a story of how communication today is very different from communication in the past due to the effects of technology.
PROCESS
For current communication, I broke up the text and jumbled the words to depict how people are distracted while “listening.” For the past, I made the typography straightforward and clear to maximize readability. I used the AI program DALL-E to generate the images of the people. I also used Space Type Generator to create certain elements of type, as well as moving printed type on a scanner for a warped effect. I used these tools to reinforce the message that technology has affected our lives.

KNOWLEDGE GAINED
I explored the idea of perception, playing on the idea that technology has brought society closer together but has pulled us apart. This concept is reflected in the posters; and as you get closer the more details you see.
