Forbes Magazine

In developing a magazine spread for the article "Deepfakes are Going to Wreak Havoc on Society. We are not prepared," I channeled the captivating energy of those glossy pages found in the waiting rooms of doctors' offices. The articles in those magazines weren't just informative; they were visually arresting, with imagery that seamlessly intertwined with the theme at hand. Striving to mirror that allure, I embarked on a creative journey to blend multiple images using gradients, crafting a visual experience that would draw readers in and hold their gaze. The imagery was designed to be as impactful as the article's title, hinting at the unsettling nature of deepfakes and their potential to disrupt our perception of reality. By manipulating the visuals to create something familiar yet jarringly off-kilter, the spread reflects the essence of deepfakes themselves—convincing imitations that can deceive our senses. To maintain a sense of unity throughout the spread, I implemented a semi-transparent medium blue background behind the article's text. This consistent element not only ties the pages together but also provides a calming contrast to the provocative imagery, ensuring the reader's focus remains on the article's critical message. The final design is a carefully orchestrated balance between text and image, inviting the reader to engage with the content both intellectually and emotionally. Each element serves a purpose, from the choice of images to the overlay of colors, all converging to underscore the article's warning: deepfakes represent a formidable challenge to society, one that we must urgently prepare to face.
