Zuckerberg: King of the Metaverse
When I was commissioned to create the main art portrait for the documentary Zuckerberg: King of the Metaverse, I knew I wanted to design something that would not only capture the essence of Mark Zuckerberg but also reflect an era, a digital revolution, and the complex persona behind it all.
For this portrait, the visual vocabulary is two symbols: the universal like and dislike icons. These simple yet powerful shapes represent the heart of Facebook’s early design—an interface built on binary decisions, instantaneous reactions, and emotional simplicity.
With only two shades of Facebook blue colors and white, the mosaic echoes the polarizing impact of Zuckerberg's empire. Blue is the color of connection and trust. The Metaverse: a world where people can transcend boundaries, form communities, and share experiences.
This piece is more than just an image of Mark Zuckerberg. It’s a commentary on the dynamics of our online world. With every like, we affirm; with every dislike, we critique. These simple actions have created ripples across the digital landscape, influencing elections, fostering movements, and reshaping societies.
For a moment, think about your relationship with the digital world. What do you like? What do you dislike? And how do those small choices shape the world we’re building together?
Zuckerberg: King of the Metaverse is available on Sky and Apple TV. Whether intrigued by the technological revolution or curious about the man behind the Metaverse, this documentary offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the digital era. My portrait is the visual gateway to this compelling story—don’t miss it!
