My name is Alejandro Ortiz, I studied cinema and somehow ended up working in advertising agencies as an art director. War Trends is a poster design series based on the Google searches made in war torn countries in 2019: Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and South Sudan.

A series of 6 poster was designed in a weekly basis based on the data found on Google Trends. This is a visual exploration on the interests of the people that are facing such a difficult time. Why are they looking for these subjects in the middle of an armed conflict?. I don't have any answers, just assumptions.
