Skeptic's Digest Publication
While anti-intellectualism is rampant and fake news is everywhere, Skeptic's Digest promotes the scientific method and evidence-based thinking. Content is based on real scientific research, translated into everyday language. Features all original photography and illustraions. This design includes a proposed internet browser plug-in as well, which could verify the reliability of your news.
Created under the guidance of instructor Lindsay Ballant.
The magazine consists of five sections. The content of each section is color coded, for easy at-a-glance navigation. Plus, each section begins with a brief overview of the content to come, including anticipated reading time. No surprises, no wasted time. And, most importantly: absolutely no fake news.
Skeptic's Toolbox: Browser Extension
Skeptic's Toolbox is a digital application under the Skeptic's Digest brand. This extension has four main features: red flags tell you if traditionally unreliable jargon is being used; fact score lets you know how reliable an article is, based on citations and external references; highlights allow easy navigation to key content like study conclusions or sample sizes; and finally, the jargon translator puts industry jargon into layman's terms.
