2024 Author: Richard Flannagan | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-15 23:55
Like the tentacles of a giant Octopus, social networks embrace, envelop the entire Internet, penetrating deeper and deeper into it, and more and more densely sitting in the mind of a person, eating a fair chunk of his time (mainly a worker), and sometimes occupying an important position in his life. On social networks they make friends and feud, have fun, love, sell and buy … In light of this popularity, it is not surprising that the American artist Justonescarf depicted social media in a series of his posters titled Social media propaganda … Very laconic, ingenious and humorous. Of course, among the social networks involved in the posters there are neither VKontakte nor Odnoklassniki - abroad, few people know about them, and just as few who use them. But Twitter, Facebook, as well as a newly-minted resource called Google+ from the company of the same name are present in it, and in a variety of ways. More precisely, their incarnations.
True, there is still little talk about Google+, and there is nothing special to say, but some posters about Twitter and Facebook delight with their subtle humor. So, many will smile when they see a poster with the text "Register on Facebook - your friends need help on their farms" - a subtle allusion to the super-mega-popular on-net game "Happy Farmer" and its counterparts for the Russian networks Odnoklassniki and VKontakte. And the slogan for Twitter "Be short - the enemy can eavesdrop" hints at the limitation of messages in 140 characters - it is not for nothing that it is called microblogging.
The Social Media Propaganda Poster series includes other posters about popular social networks. Well, you can find them on the author's page, Justonescarf on Etsy, which means that the posters are available for sale. True, in a very limited edition.
