Truth or Trust
2021, magazine
During my studies at Willem de Kooning Academy, we created an event called “Truth or Trust” on the subject of weaponized design. This is a dark pattern: a deceitful UX design that tries to maneuver people into taking actions they otherwise wouldn't take.
Our goal was to make the strategies used in weaponized design known and warn users of potential consequence. We chose to do this through the printed medium, to remove the participants from the digital space where they are being tricked.
The publication reflects our progress, using different colored pages, duochrome pictures, and QR codes. It was a great opportunity to experiment and create eye-catching combinations. We also included feedback, and reflections in the publications.
