Samsung’s personalized news app Upday is a digital content aggregator that takes news and updates from brands and bloggers, then churning it out in a unique and simple format. The platform works by asking users about the specific topics they are interested in, and then bringing everything together in one content stream that’s easy to peruse. To illustrate the functions of this program, Samsung and creative agency Cheil Germany commissioned design studio FOREAL to create visual interpretations of the app. Its results are colorful and engaging mages that hybridize some of pop culture and politic’s most known personalities with elements that represent various sections of the news topics. Check out the humorous images above and learn more at FOREAL’s site.
