Hate Speech is Free Speech, isn't it? - Major Project

This project was created as a critique to hate speech which uses free speech as an argument to justify intolerance. It is designed the identity and website of a fictitious department of the government called Office for Free Speech which tries to control and encourage the use of hate speech. The final outcome and all the elements of the project are brought together through an animation of the websites user experience. The website is the form and the thread of the narrative and of all the designed elements. The aim is to create a coherent, ordered narrative that makes it easy for the viewer to connect all the elements in order to understand the message. It is divided in four pages: manifesto, campaign, fake and hate news and OFShield which is a method that protects hate speech in social media. The manifesto is the fundamental and main element of the animation as it exposes the intentions of the fictitious office of freedom of expression. It is created in such a way that allows the addition of moving elements that give meaning to the discourse and that graphically show the intention, but above all, the criticism.
