Powerful Images - Smartphones







These are some very strong and and dynamic images which I came across, again on social media. I believe they are extremely relevant to my topic and give off very powerful messages about how smartphones 'are taking over your life' and harming people. 

The first image could be classed as slightly unpleasant or distressing, however I very much like the concept of this image. It shows a woman with a phone by her ear, with legs or claws either side of it, I think to look like a spider or some kind of insect - with the idea that the phone has its own features or a mind of its own which can cause harm to its user. This example if quite extreme but most definitely shows the great concept behind it.

The second image shows a man looking down at his phone with a broken / snapped neck. This is over-exaggerated but I definitely think this metaphorically gives off a strong message about health which is how you can seriously damage your neck by constantly looking down at a device.

The third image is based on one of the things that can be accessed via the use of a smartphone which is social media. Although the idea of the image is that the phone is wired in to someone's arm like the information is immediately going straight in to the users body and like it cannot be removed. This image highlights the addiction to technology. 

I like all of these images but will most likely not use something like this for my campaign as it could be seen as a bit extreme or intense.
