I finally opted to compare the effects social media addiction to a substance addiction as there are a lot of similarities. To do so,  I represented  different traits or behaviours with the use of colourful illustrations that are pretty self-eplanatory so that even without a caption, the viewer can understand the subject matter. 

​

In order to make people reflect on this social issue, I decided to make a Tumblr blog with these illustrations. Through this platform , I am asking viewers to look at the listed behaviours and see if any of these represents them.In the subsequent event, they are encouraged to consider seeking for help. This is meant to be sarcastic as unlike substance addiction, social media addiction is not taken seriously even though it concerns a large majority of our society . On the contrary, the use or excessive use of social media is rather promoted through advertisement, business marketing and entertainment.
