Final Year Project
Project Title
Love in the Digital Age
Description
Dating in any form can be complicated, but when you are dating online it tends to add more obstacles to an already difficult path. In Pakistan, where dating is a frowned upon activity, yet many Millennials and Gen Z defy the societal norms to choose a partner of their own choice rather than following the traditional pattern of arranged marriages. This has led individuals to the world of online dating through applications like Tinder and Bumble. We explore different types of dating styles while emphasizing on online dating including the impact it makes in the lives of its users for better or worse. Through research, it has been concluded that many individuals join dating applications in hope to find the "one." Although few have found that, but most of them are struggling in understanding the online dating world. The creative project is the guidebook to help them with this new world.
