PROJECT 03 PROCESS: “Inside the Secret Sting Operations to Expose Celebrity Psychics”

TRAVIS BODELL

VISC304 PROJECT 03

KEY INFO: Susan Gerbic, a retired photography studio manager, dedicates her time to revealing the fraudulence of mediums and psychics.

The history of exposing psychics dates back to the same time that the practice was popularized, mid-eighteenth century.

The internet has popularized a new kind of “hot reading.”

Gerbic and her global group of skeptics make fake Facebook accounts and then attend shows.

Psychics prey on the emotions of their audience, but the grief they invoke is very real.

CONCEPT STATEMENT: Social media has became a tool for psychics to unpackage the real grief and trauma of their audience members to put on a more believable show. It is the same tool being used to expose a psychic's fraudulence.

ROUND 01

Definitely liked the style of execution here, but concept would be hard to visualize.

I combined the visual concept of this draft with one of my drafts from the second round to make my final.

Experimentation with composition, type placement, and how the WiFi bars affect overall concept.
