[Digital Skills] Jerusalem’s case, North-Korea’s threat & the “Me Too” Movement
Media & Society Class — LAU 2018
1- Digital News curation:
The World’s response to Trump’s statement about Jerusalem
2- Photo Editing and Manipulation:
Trump & Jong Un, To Nuke Or Not To Nuke
I transformed the cover to a play poster with the headline “To Nuke or Not To Nuke, a play by Trump D. and Jong Un K.”.
To play on sensationalism, using a photograph of a nuclear weapon, the main threat, can be more alarming than simply inferring to it. The conflict between the two presidents is a war of Words, honor and pride. This could remind us of old Shakespearian plays. Instead of caring about World Peace, they’re both praising their nuclear power or “button”.
Trump is responding to the North Korean threat with long elaborated prideful Tweets as if he was a writer like Shakespeare instead of a real caring President. I made Trump wear a Shakespeare costume and added the Twitter logo to the nuclear weapon.
The North Korean President is the main threat and the enemy of the Democratic World, so I represented the antagonist as a dark cloud. His nuclear weapon is also not ready yet for use therefore he’s still a “simple” threat in the sky.
3- Podcasting:
