Link'd
This design case study highlights Link'd, a visual storytelling project developed as part of a Visual Design course at IDC, IIT Bombay. Tasked with creating a compelling narrative in 60 words or less, the project brought the story to life through a hypothetical movie poster. By using black-and-white imagery and carefully composed visuals where one subject visually overpowered the other two, the team of three crafted a striking display of visual dominance that effectively captured the narrative's essence.
About the Project
Link'd is an intriguing visual storytelling project that was created as a part of an academic course on Visual Design in IDC, IIT Bombay. The project's main objective was to come up with a captivating narrative, comprising only 60 words or less, and then convey it through a hypothetical movie poster.
However, the team of 3 involved in the project had to adhere to a strict constraint - they could only use black and white images, could only use the teammates as subjects with the image composition designed in a way that one person visually overpowered the other two. The result was a stunning display of visual dominance that effectively portrayed the narrative.
Narrative
Link'd is a humorous and thought-provoking journey that uses the metaphor of a puppeteer to represent tech giants who manipulate our lives through digital interactions. It sheds light on the hidden dance of data and surveillance that underlies our interconnected world, making us all unwitting puppets in the hands of powerful corporations. The narrative invites viewers to reflect on the implications of our role in this digital drama.
