AGORA
This interdisciplinary project was a response to an open brief set by Mozilla and Duncan of Jorndanstone. We were asked to work in teams to design and produce either a campaign, installation, experience or a product responding to the design brief.
For this project, I worked as a member of a group of 5 students from different disciplines.
Our team came up with the idea of a fake news detecting assistant and we presented our product through an experience. Our aim was to incorporate audience interaction and demonstrate one way in which our product would work to educate people in a non-threatening, engaging way which we hoped would encourage open-mindedness among the participants.
My contribution to this project was the experience design/idea and the logo and tag-line. I was also responsible for the typography of the project. Overall we had very good interaction and a cheery atmosphere while we were learning from each other and, the feedback from our tutors during the process played a very important role on that as it brought us closer together as a team.
Agora was the center of culture in Greece, where democracy was born. In our society Democracy is in danger, social media use news as a propaganda tool and the speed with which they spread around is the biggest threat.
