Misuse of data is a serious problem. But perhaps equally as troubling is the fact that many users are not sufficiently aware of how exactly popular apps and platforms work, how their engagement is optimized, or what’s being tracked and collected. In our project, we identified: growing amounts of data being collected and sold, negligent click-throughs of terms and conditions, ”smart” tech, facial recognition technologies, and awareness by organizations as evident and emerging trends. We also created a CLA and a poster for a possible future of Bio design.
sitioning Statement: For urban millennial couples shopping for unique wedding bands, Diamond in the Rough is a jewelry pop-up that guides customers through the process of designing and printing their rings.

The 2020 Election is in the near future, but as we learned in the 2016 election, anything can happen within a short time. Reporting, social media, political pundits, conspiracy theories, polling, accusations, and investigations — how we get information and the validity of truth will sway views and ultimately, votes. The best political minds did not see the massive shift in support until it was too late. This epic upset was an eye-opener for the entire country. Disinformation is disseminated at a mind-blowing pace, and the strategy of politics has changed drastically.
