While studying in Venice my professors assigned us not only the task of creating a publishing house, but also fully crafting a book that we would set to be published and actually printed by said house.

Step one was complete: create Practsis Publishing.

This is what came out of step two.

Practsis is all about the ironic, habitual peculiarities that we all face, yet seem to blend into our lives.

 

Social media was a major focus for me and I foudn it to be quite interesting to disect. Writing for it as well as designing for it was a humbling, eye-opening challenge.

 

The irony of the title "Like us on Facebook" already has two meanings in and of itself. It is the slogan for many businesses today as well as what each and every on of us who uses any social media platform wants: to be liked online.

The book it dedicated to the millenials of my generation (good ol' X and Y) as well as the fresh gen right after mine that is heavily entrenched into this saturated world of social media.

The book is broken up into four sections:

 

IMO

 

TBT

 

IRL

 

FAQ

 

Meant to resemble the texting language of today,

 

IMO is about my take on the world's situation today,

 

TBT is a historical analysis of how social media all began,

 

IRL is all about how social media has worked its way into our real professional lives,

 

and FAQ talks about the future of what we may see for the world reguarding social media.

In the end, this book is supposed to be roughly 200 pages in length. This copy is a precursor for what would happen if the book were to be developed further.
