Political Prospects
If Design is a problem-solving activity, the Designer in this case plays a key role in this process.
2016 represents a decisive point of change and transformation not only politically but also socially.
Now we are living in a new reality in which culture, in general, tends to collide. It is quite interesting the effect of technology primarily perhaps social networks on traditional human daily lives in general. The positive and negative impacts on the social,
social, mental, physical, political, and cultural. We must admit that every part of our daily life is related to technology.

My Voice
This was a very intense year and in my point of view different from any previous one regarding politics. Being accustomed to posters, signs, stickers, etc., exclusively based on typography and layout. This time it was a bit different and social networks exclusively Twitter and Facebook have assumed an extremely fundamental role in elections both in Europe – UK ‘Brexit‘ and in the United States.
From here we can see that information and manipulation of information was the key to these choices and the results of them. So, everything happens so fast like a huge snowball that exists but few of us understand in a war of constant bombardment of information.
As a citizen, as an individual, and as a Designer, I want to participate and express my voice as well.
The following questions were in some ways a thorough source of inspiration and reason for starting this Self-directed project.
How can I help people and society not to take for granted our system, governments, and even our ways and lifestyles? I understand that we must be serious about facts, and knowledge and distinguish what is true and what is not. Can we differentiate serious advertising arguments today?
