We were assigned to make a magazine cover and I choose to recreate one from one of the Wired magazines given to us in class. To me the initial ad had unbalanced proximity and the vocal point of the ad (the watch) wasn't displayed in a manner that allowed it to be the audiences main focus. Though my remake doesn't necessarily have the watch plastered all over, it does accentuate the watch a lot more than the previous ad. Its appearance is subtle yet eye catching and holds its own next to the striking George Clooney.
Black Mirror is a Netflix original series that shows the worse possible outcomes of the use our obsessive use of technology. We watched one particular episode called "Nosedive" that was about a world that based ones value off of their ranking. Ranked 1-5, people were forced to create a false persona of themselves in order to receive 5 stars during any human interaction. The main character of this episode became so obsessed with having a high ranking that it caused her ultimate downfall but also opened her eyes to a whole new life of honestly and happiness. This episode, though over exaggerated, showed how much people base their worth on social media popularity and what others think of them and those who didn't care and had "low rankings" were the happiest.
