MY WORK

The purpose of my image is to warn parents of how overstimulating and addictive Cocomelon can be for toddlers. I wanted to bring the perspective of toddler's brains to the audience and show how oversaturated colors can affect them.

​

To convey a child’s overstimulated mind, I added a background full of toys cramped together. I then used a filter to make the colors sharper and added a few brainrots by using the layer tool and lowering the opacity. I made sure to have multiple images overlapping one another to make it harder for the audience to focus on an image to simulate a child’s short attention span.

​

The phrase “Tung tung tung” is a common brainrot slang included to emphasize a stunt in vocabulary. It’s meant to be unhinged so parents feel more urgency to limit children’s screen time. To send this message, I increased the size with a rainbow gradient and overlaid it to the text to enhance its overstimulating effects.

 

Ultimately, I wanted to warn parents that while tablets can offer educational  benefits, excessive screen time can reduce children's critical thinking skills.
