MOVING IMAGE POSTERS
Your Thumb Needs a Break is a conceptual poster campaign exploring our increasingly automatic
relationship with screens. From endlessly scrolling through TikTok while a drink sits
untouched, to
recording an entire concert instead of experiencing it, and repeatedly moving a thumb across a
gaming controller, the campaign focuses on the small, almost unconscious actions that keep us
connected to our devices. Rather than presenting technology as something inherently negative, the
project takes a more humorous approach to the everyday habits we've come to accept as normal.
The visual language combines photographic imagery with contrasting typographic styles, pairing an
elegant serif typeface with pixel-inspired typography and digital interface references. The
pixel
elements act almost like a system monitoring our behaviour, turning ordinary moments into humorous
“activity reports” and highlighting the absurdity of our digital routines. Each poster captures a
different situation, but together they deliver the same simple message: sometimes the best thing
your thumb can do is nothing.
