An Infographic on CyberBullying

OVERVIEW

For this assignment, I made an infographic that explores an crucial ethical and legal issue in tech use. My task was to present key features and examples in an engaging and visually appealing way. I chose cyberbullying, a serious issue affecting people of all ages, especially young adults.

WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS TOPIC

Cyberbullying in its essence is using technology to harass, threaten, or humiliate someone. It can take various forms, such as online hate speech, spreading misinformation, or sharing embarrassing content without consent. The consequences of this problem include mental health issues, legal consequences, and emotional harm that may last for life. My main reason for choosing this topic was to understand this confusing matter as i was born in a digital world and as a digital native i want to fully comprehend all aspects of the internet and digital technology.

DESIGN PROCESS AND CHALLENGES

To create this project, I used Canva, a student friendly design tool. I focused on using colours to highlight key points, related pictures to represent ideas visually, and brief text for easy understanding. One of the challenges I faced was summarizing complicated information while keeping the infographic uncluttered and appealing.

MY REFLECTIONS ON INFOGRAPHICS

According to my humble opinion, creating this infographic has helped me to fully grasp the cyberbullying topic. Before that i did not think about this matter a lot. In fact I sometimes used to cyberbully people myself without knowing its adverse consequences and harms. I thought it was hilarious at first but then I noticed the damage that I caused over time so I decided to be more friendly towards strangers on the internet.
