Identification notes
What is known
Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a satirical concentric-circle diagram credited "@MIKE_SUNDAY." A calm wojak labels the small blue core "Skills I thought you needed to be a good designer" — "A good eye," "Showing process." A dripping red skull labels the vast red rings "Skills you actually need," listing "Clout chasing," "Hiding the fact you have rich parents," "DJing fashion events," "Optimistic nihilism," "Ripping darts," and "Creating decks with buzzwords to get funding." The claims are the joke, reproduced as found. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
