Design Brief

The problem that my group is trying to solve is that we are trying to raise awareness of Digital Health and Wellness. I have found some websites that explain how dangerous technology use can become when people use it more than what they should. For my PSA, I am planning to just make a video with pictures that demonstrate how technology can be dangerous and explaining some information. Some materials that I will use is only the computer and the internet to find the images of my choice. I will probably use a slow light sounded song in the background.

Digital Health and Wellness

So far I've been researching a lot and looking for reliable sources to use. I am still not sure of what type of PSA I am going to do, so I need to get together with my partner to agree on it. We either have the option of making a real video or just making a video that consists of images and factual information.
