Social Media is Killing Your Personal Life

Lenticular print, 3.5" x 5"

Background:
News organizations test multiple headlines for the same story when publishing articles online. These alternative leads run for a short time until one shows evidence of receiving the most clicks. The most effective combination of keywords can increase readership of an article by up to 1000%.

This print is an analog representation of this A/B testing process.
