Message: Social media addiction. My design is showcasing the effect of overusing social media and how it can make you crazy like the person in the design. I highly suggest younger students to avoid social media as much as you can and for people that have social media to limit the amount of time you spend on all social media platforms.

Message: Although social media can act as a great outlet for technological expressiveness and creativity, it does come with consequences. Social media keeps you unconscious of the things going on around you. I think students should try to spend less time on social media on their phones to be more aware in life and to have a positive digital footprint.

Message: Social media helps spread awareness about important topics and share good news with friends, however it can also become addicting and have a negative impact on your sleep. Lack of sleep affects your attention span, productivity and health. Put away your electronics before going to sleep and turn off all notifications!

Message:
Do not act upon unnecessary measures in order to achieve internet fame / clout. In this image a child has a sledgehammer from an arcade game and is hitting the button, the harder the child hits, the more likes (❤) the child will get. However if the child wants more likes on social media, he will have to hit the button harder (like the game in the arcade), forcing the child to put himself through more physical and mental strain.

Message: My Social media animation design is about one of the dangers of sharing your location on social media. It’s easy to share your location when apps like Facebook allows you to tag your statuses with your location. When you share your location, you and your valuables are at risk. In my design, it shows one of the scenarios when a victim posts they are away on a holiday, announcing they are not at home. This could give criminals the chance to target your home with the home location you shared on social media. To minimize these risks, you can hide your location by making sure you’ve got location settings turned off on your phone and on each app. Make sure that your privacy settings on your social media accounts are set to only sharing with people whom you trust.

Message: Young people have quite the influence on what happens around them. Animals of the world are losing their homes every day because of global temperatures rising the ice caps are melting and water levels are rising. There are many ways to contribute to slowing this process down. Using social media and spreading this message and others alike can influence others like you to do the same and the cycle of spreading the message will continue.

Message:
The message behind my design is to be more conscious of where the trends that one uses come from. My image also speaks on the hopelessness or discouragement one feels when they feel they can’t share their culture without judgement. My advice to everyone to solve this problem is to pay credit to the cultures you borrow from and also not discriminate or judge those apart of the culture for part-taking in it.

Message:
My design resembles a clothing store, which uses social media to advertise their products and information about the store, like sales and special deals and much more. It is easier to advertise products of companies and stores. So in my design I created a store with social media icons like instagram, snapchat and facebook, with the store name above so express the advertisement that would take place using social media.

Message:
My social media animation design is based on a tv show character from “The mandalorian” famously known by the internet as “Baby Yoda”. It took everyone’s attention by surprise and it was through social media he became popular everywhere. In Instagram, Baby Yoda is famously known for all the funny and cute memes that were made about him. Inspire positivity for yourself and those around you from this character by discussing it, for a mental well being. Also it’s important at the same time to not be distracted by it and not be overly obsessed with him.

Message:
Using your phone at night time can drastically affect your sleep cycle. The blue light emitted from phones causes your brain to stay awake and alert, preventing sleep. This lack of sleep can promote depression, stress and affect your overall mental health.
