“These old-fashioned social media book covers by Graphic artist StĂ©phane Massa-Bidal encapsulate the idealism behind some of the world’s most popular social sites. His vintage depictions look somewhat like mid 20th century magazine ads.
At first thought, the concept behind creating social media book covers seems like an oxymoron. But if art can be defined as a vehicle for the expression or communication of human emotion, then social media, has also become art.”
