The Capture

Inspiration

Nowadays, many media publish fake news or exaggerated headlines to gather audiences’ attention. Our lives are always negatively impacted by the ensure of the accuracy of information. From the people around us, our parents always worry about us because of some fake news they saw about COVID on the internet. Besides, much misinformation was spread during this special period such as cold can provides some protection against COVID-19. Thus, it is the fake news published during COVID that creates a great misconception and makes us realize the harm and problem of misinformation. Inspired from this scenario, we come up with the idea that we need to reduce the negative effect of fake news and to create a platform where users can get access to authorize answers thus stop worrying about inaccurate information.

Challenges we ran into…..

No similar idea and website structure to learn from.
It was difficult to say and identify a specific target group of users, for example the age group, social status, occupation, and etc, because the internet user group is huge, and people have different habits of using the internet to share and receive information. We tried to make our design as accessible as possible for everyone.
