Connor Knight

Emerging from a background in graphic and spatial design, Connor Knight is an interdisciplinary designer exploring modern, playful and thought-provoking designs. Connor’s research explores the evolution of social media and the introduction of AI powered Beauty features which can negatively impact users’ perception of authenticity. Responding to this, Connor proposes the digital activist campaign ‘FACE FIRST’. The project comprises a digital hub that provides information on beauty filter technologies, a social media strategy and a series of printed posters about the negative effects of social media usage and the technology behind it.
