Rationale

My poster concepts is around the argument of social media, taking the negative stance. I have focused specifically on cyber bullying and the fact that people seem to use social media as an excuse for emotional harm.

The design of the poster is based around 'making the familiar unfamiliar' and substitution to create a strong and easy to decipher metaphor centered around the saying "words have power" as well as cyber bullying. The ihi of the poster is prominently sharpness combined with grunge and erosive nature seen through the type and handle, creating an overall sinister ihi. From this I want the viewer to feel a wehi of powerlessness and fear. These two emotions directly correspond to some of the feelings that those bullied over social media experience far too many times. No matter what form it is said in, words still have the potential to cause imminent harm and lead a destructive path.
