The concept behind the Digital Destress project is to counteract the negative side effects that social media is having in people of all ages such as feelings of addiction, anxiety, depression, jealousy, false comparisons, as well as low self-esteem and social isolation. Digital Destress looks to re-direct people who are being negatively affected by social media experiences to a more healthy lifestyle on and off the digital world. Social media is not going anywhere and I think it is important for people to start addressing the potential negative issues that could arise, and start a support platform and campaign to address them. The digital media that is used on this project is high fidelity interactive mock-ups of an application that provides people with options to follow accounts that are conscious about the impact they have on society, and try to boost their self-confidence and self-esteem. It will also provide articles and tips about mental and physical health.
