Fake News
The term FAKE NEWS was coined in 2016. It originally referred to politically motivated false media propaganda, but now it could also refer to misleading news and information on social media in a broad sense. People always post misleading information in order to achieve their goals. Especially with the help of the high transmission speed of the network, this situation is getting worse. Unlike the official media and the government, there is little legal control over who speaks on the internet, so people even don't think about the bad consequences before taking action.
The project aims to raise awareness of the problem of fake news among public and make them know its seriousness through a powerful campaign. The campaign was planned to be developed by a series of posters.
When people read news and expressions taken out of context or with a purpose, they are easily controlled by extreme emotions. This campaign calls on people not to write, comment on and share news with prejudice and extreme emotions, which could lead to quoting out of context.
These three posters show the influence of the words ANGRY, NERVOUS and MAD on the surrounding text in three ways. The burning of the word angry in the first poster squeezes the text representing social media in the background. The words falling from the top of the second poster were official news, but the word nervous acted as a filter, leaving only the sensitive words. In the third poster, the three letters of the word mad are rendered translucent, and the hot news words seen through these three letters are distorted.
When users use the app, they can first browse the fake news posted by other users. They can select one of them to see the specific content and change the part they think is wrong . Users can also post a fake news by themselves. In the page of posting news, they can edit the news by sorting and selecting the news they are interested in.
