Send in the Clown

Graphic publication for academic journal piece Twitter, incivility, and presidential communication: A theoretical incursion into spectacle and power.

Challenge

To translate and emphasise the analysis of the subject matter in the article into a visual narrative.

Solution

Highlighting incivility and unrest in the reader through a visual narrative of typography and imagery, including popularised tweets from the president during his first tenure, focusing on the use of “FAKE NEWS” and on the uncivil language.

Imagery used focused on the events of the January 6th United States Capitol attack and other worldwide events to draw emphasis on tone.
