C U Soon - An Illustrated Story
This project highlights how excessive social media users may find themselves sharing only the highlights of their lives but also experiencing inadequacy when comparing themselves to others online who do the same. The project tells the story of two characters leading very different lives, but struggling with feeling envious of each other, both believing they would be happier with the other's life. The comic depicts the difference between their reality and their social media using comedy to relate to its audience. I undertook this project to create a comical and heartwarming story that is relatable to many people in our ever-digital society, and to highlight the role that each of us may unwittingly have in the unattainability of social media.
