Concept

Dealing with the Internet and associated digital media is becoming increasingly important in people's daily lives in an era of rapidly advancing digitization.
On the other hand, this encourages reliance on these media, which can lead to the development of addictions.

This is a DIN-A5 booklet aims to provide information about the phenomenon of internet addiction and to try to sensitize relatives and those who may be affected to this topic.It is critical to emphasize that the vast majority of people use the Internet responsibly, and that simply spending a lot of time on the Internet is not an addiction.

Research methodologies

1. Secondary Research: Before beginning to collect and sort information for the booklet, it is critical to conduct extensive and in-depth research in a variety of specialist literatures on the subject.

2. Primary Research: As the basis for this information brochure, an online survey with 216 participants was conducted. A flyer was created to capture the attention of participants.

Infographic

I started with the infographic after gathering all of the necessary information and data.It was difficult to visualize such abstract information in a way that everyone could understand and want to learn more about. I decided to present those in a comic book style, which is also my strength.

Book cover

The book cover should encompass the entire meaning of the title, which depicts a life filled with online activities. It depicts a sandglass, implying that time simply passes and people are trapped inside.
