I chose this article because I share an interest in gaming. As I read the article I thought it would be fun to illustrate as it talks about how during the pandemic people would socialize through games.
The article is trying to reach those interested in gaming and social life.
I want to have references to games that people who play games will understand. I also took different approaches that might reach those who don’t know about games at all but might be interested about the social aspect of it.
I started thinking about what the article addressed, which was how gaming connected people. One of the games it talked about was animal crossing so most of my thumbnails show ideas around that concept and how it connected people.

CONCEPT: mirrors show us a reversed version of ourselves, different from how others see us. Many young people on social media use filters that help them understand this difference.
Some filters highlight imperfections we might not notice in the mirror, like uneven hairlines or crooked mouths. This can be strange, similar to how it feels when we hear our own voice on a recording.
Other filters make our faces look perfect and symmetrical, almost like we’ve had plastic surgery or used Photoshop in real-time. These filters change how we see ourselves in the digital world.
