Challenging COVID Misinformation

Student Project at Emily Carr University

False science, naive assumptions, and political rhetoric must not damage public health. Visual communication has a duty to serve the public good.

This is a campaign that supports the fight against COVID-19 misinformation in the form of public transit advertisement posters. My concept grew and came to be through actively consuming COVID-19 media from diverse sources during the spring and early summer, and continually assessing information for accuracy, implicit bias and possible hidden agenda(s). With easy to read text and abstract imagery, this project aims to debunk common COVID-19 myths that circulated the internet when news of the virus first surfaced in American media.
