I used https://www.tweetgen.com/ to generate these images. I think this is “profile” like enough for the assignment. Everett Lame did not have a profile picture or bio before he deleted his account for the record, which might go against the assignment parameters but I think it fits with what I am trying to do. My …
I had a lot of fun creating this fake Twitter account, and it was pretty easy to do on Twitter/X. Within the parameters of this assignment, I decided to do 2009 for a couple of reasons. It was the first year of the Obama administration, a lot of cool music and movies came out that […]
When I first read the project prompt — to create a digital archive based between 2000 and 2010 — I seriously considered sticking to that time frame. But I made a conscious decision to set my project in 2014 instead. I chose this moment in time because it allowed me to explore a very specific […]
Instead of using an actual social media website, I created my own website called MyJournal, which is a LiveJournal knockoff. Here is the website that I created: https://myjournal.olivermarcel.com/. All of the photos and primary sources that were used within this project are sited inside of their individual blog/social media posts, but if you don’t want […]

Good day, comrades. For this project, I chose to emulate the style of two of my favorite propaganda moments: the WWII Home Front and Soviet Constructivism. I read an article once where someone said Ben Shapiro called Big Bird a communist. Presumably it was meant in a metonymic sense to refer to PBS, but I […]
For the propaganda project, I made two posters. Between the fictional Puppets and Basil Boulevard, the two groups which we have decided to use as parodies of certain shows, both of my propaganda posters support the Puppets. One of them is directly in support of the Puppets, while the other is fear mongering against Basil …

This was a very enjoyable assignment for me. I made my propaganda using images from google and the instagram story feature. For the first one (with Animal), I leaned into the fear-mongering style of propaganda. I imagine in this reality that the Puppets and Basil Boulevard members are in direct competition for jobs, so the …
