Title: Why people use photography and graphic design as a weapon against the war?
Topic: Digital media. It refers to audio, video, and photo content that has been encoded or digitally compressed (Microsoft). Most of people use the media in various ways and that it focuses on the audience themselves and how they decide to use a digital media. An example of this is the question of Why people use photography and graphic design as a weapon against the war?
Background: Photography is a collection of journalism, nature, portrait, and art photos, that help fighting against violence. It provides the photographer with the ability to speak out through their one-click -device to visualize the truth, help justice win against injustice. Since the appearance of this invention, photography has existed as the media that helps the human eye to tell the truth and the lie apart. An example of such function is the heartbreaking picture of a dead refugee baby on a Turkish beach in September this year. Photography is a form of journalism and that journalism is known as Photo Journalism. Photojournalism is the way of creating news articles, utilizing mainly photographs. It plays a vital role in the society to fight against violence. The one click is all it takes to make a video or a picture, that helps people to understand what is being done to someone in the news. But photographs look same unless it gets a fine touch at Adobe Photoshop and other designing tool. This is why I will go more deeply on how photography and design changed the world and changing and will be changing. I will not only look into photography and design, I will also look about war and epidemic crime happening now. This is why photography and graphic design emerge around the world against the war.
Research Problem: The research proposes is to determine Why people use photography and graphic design as a weapon against the war?
Sub-problems:
What makes photography and graphic design different from Guns and bombs?
Does the information shared in photography and graphic design against the war differ from the photograph we usually click?
Do people capture war photographs and design it for the same reasons or different reasons as we capture photograph, usually?
Research Question: The purpose of this study is to determine Why people use photography and graphic design as a weapon against the war? by investigating why people capture war photographs, design it and we capture photograph usually such as selfie?
Aim: The aim of this pilot study is to determine the reasons why people capture war photographs, design it and we capture photograph usually by specifically looking at photographer that take war photographs and regular photographs.
Methodology: This study will appear as a subjective research study. Subjective research techniques endeavor to find what is thought to be a dynamic reality while concentrating basically on comprehension specifics, of photography and design that is use against the war. I will use some photographs and design as an example of digital media against the war. Significance: The exponential increase in the use of photographs and design around the world has led to the emergence of research to digital media against the war. These studies vary between photographer who take war photos, and the role that design play in photography. These researchers have tried to determine why people take war photo as opposed to war, why people go to war and why people should use digital media.
