mini vlog :)

a sneak-peek of my graphic memoir :)

this is a confessional “vlog” that victoria garrick posted on tiktok as a part of her series about intuitive eating. it’s confessional because she is very open about how she eats in order to encourage a healthy relationship with food. for her followers who also know her history with eating disorders, it’s even more confessional because she is sharing her journey of gaining body positivity and being comfortable with eating.

this ad encourages viewers to view coca cola as part of their identity by labeling the bottles with words such as “friends” and “family,” and even specifically naming a few. this makes viewers want to be a part of sharing coca cola.

similar to the previous media, this is a very personal and vulnerable insta post about her experience as an asian american. this is very confessional because she is sharing specific events to a large audience

the idea of "confession" through media is a bit complicated because you have to determine how true the "confession" is. personally, i choose to publically share very few personal things on social media, but i tend to overshare with friends. i try to stay true to myself and what's important to me, though i believe many others may "confess" things with the intention of being perceived a certain way. additionally, as important as it is to consider what people are posting, it is also worth noting what they choose to hide, because some may believe that only sharing your best parts, even if they're true, is not authentic.
