Debonos thinking hats

Today in class we discussed Debonos thinking hats which really helped. I was getting a bit of track and still not liking the work I had done.
They made me rethink about the use of symbology (or the symbology that society puts on certain images), what would be a persuasive argument and why and from there I think I can come up with some ideas that will be persuasive.

Stuck at the same place

Im struggling to get my mind to think further and more openly. So I wen ton a google image spree and these were some of the images i found inspiration from.

for or against social media

At the beginning of class today I still wasn't 100% sure if I wanted to be for or against social media and I tried out a few different thumbnails for each.

By the end of class I realised that I had a lot more and a lot stronger ideas for an anti social media poster.

LOOK DOWN: a rhyming response to that LOOK UP viral video

First interview with 'Look Up' creator, Gary Turk - #BBCtrending

Look Down ('Look Up' Parody)

Im wanting to check out the link that the people who made this left in the comment

section. It could be quite interesting.

YOUTUBERS REACT TO LOOK UP

I find that reactions to this video from outside sources are good to have.

Chosen Topic

I have decided to do social media as me social issue. However at this point Im still not 100% sure if I want to be for or against it. At the moment Im leaning towards for social media because in the debate I thought we came up with some good points.

The Debate

Today we broke up into three groups (superstores, social media and voting). Within these groups we were split into two, for and against. I was for social media.

The three points we decided to use for our debate were :

-communication with people overseas, so soldiers, exchange students etc. talking to their families.

-platform for creative space, so you can share your work with a larger audience.

-raise money and awareness for charities etc.

We were told before the debate to deliver our points clearly and confidently and to be relatable. Social media was first up and we ended up drawing. With one half being more relatable and the other half having stronger "factual" points.
