In a digitally constructed image by senior graphic designer Caitlyn Richey, two hands holding a phone are pictured over a background with a hidden web of social platforms and icons. This is to represent that the true effects of social media and social platforms are often hidden at first and overlooked, but they are always there. "Social media has the potential to have an incredibly positive impact," Richey said. "But we must be aware of the extremely negative impact it can have if used unwisely."

In a graphic created by Caitlyn Richey, a puppet is controlled by a hand. This represents the controlling of Britney Spears over the past 13 years.
