Children growing up with social media are taught that if they want to be famous and successful they need to be just like these figures that they look up to so much.

Graphic Design has always been an ever evolving and changing field. Graphic design-like activities can be found throughout history like the ancient cave paintings or the manuscript of the Middle Ages.

The majority of modern society’s advertising conveys an oppressive message to American women. In advertisement campaigns, women are typically only considered and marketed as beautiful if they fit a very specific mold that society has created. Women who don’t fit this mold of being feminine, thin, and pretty are shamed and encouraged to change. However, it isn’t just the “ugly” women who are shamed in the media. There is a consistent message that runs throughout advertisements that suggests that women are lesser than men, and that they exist solely for the benefit of men.
Imagine a world where communication is difficult, there is not a lot of entertainment, and places are hard to get to. This actually was the world in the 1900s-1910s.

Over the last 100 years, technology is by far the biggest change in our culture.

Teens spend more than one-third of their day on social media looking at stereotypical images of “perfect” bodies and people.

Photography inspires people; it can influence the direction one may take in life. This inspiration may lead to a person doing what they love or following in the footsteps of someone they look up to.
