The Coronavirus is a life-changing, world-wide issue that is constantly evolving to make everyone wonder: What will happen next? My social media graphics focus on this topic, because in times like these we must hold onto the truth and what we do know.
Panic Buying is a serious issue going on in the midst of the coronavirus. People are buying up supplies, leaving other people who can’t afford to buy in bulk to figure out how they are supposed to get the supplies they need. Featured in the design is a shelf stock with multiples of every product, various grocery bags, and many rolls of toilet paper, as that is the most popular item to buy. I made it almost falling of the page to create the allusion that there is more beyond what is seen. I made the “NO ONE”, a different color because I am attempting to emphasize that everyone is affected by this frantic action.
In the middle of all the chaos that has been taking place, it is important to find the positive little things in life. This graphic is meant slow down time, if you will, a showcase all the things that could be done with your newfound time as an alternative to going out. I chose to keep the design simple, as I believe a clustered design would not go with the peaceful theme. I kept everything black and white as a symbol, because right now the world is indeed black and white but after accomplishing at least one thing on the list, a color little will be added to your life.
I wanted to call the attention of all in the last graphic that I created. The huge red circle with a line through it draws eye immediately there, making it apparent that something serious is being discussed within it’s lines. Many people, so far, have been taking the virus as a joke and have not really cared to follow CDC guidelines. The spring break vacationers in Florida, for example, have been quoted saying, “if I get corona, then I get corona.” This is a very toxic mindset to have. The jokes featured around the “No” symbol are basic and elementary, as a contrast to a problem as severe as this. I chose to incorporate a lot of white space in order to keep the design clean and stark to match the serious and tense feeling of the topic.
