Amy Stephens’ Weblog

This is our poster we presented in Analysis last monday. It focuses on ‘Urbis’ acting as a social network and various elements we wish to continue researching as a group. These are highlighted using the continents of icon graphics. There is corporate social networking, virtual and physical social networking and the culture of social networking. We decided to use a pixelated map of the word as the foundation background to communicate the massive scale on which social networks work. It is a global communication phenomenon.Since then we have refined our poster to communicate better what we are looking into as a group. The continents of icons have been simplified and are less chaotic (which is more relevant to the ‘urbis’ which originally is an organised city state; Rome is an example). The text is easier to read and the word ‘URBIS’ has been made more prominent within the composition.
