For this brief, I designed a narrative website based on The Conversation article “The Magic of Touch: How the Deafblind Community Taught Us to See the World Differently During COVID”. Deeply moved by the personal stories, I focused on capturing the unique experiences of three individuals - Issy, Rogar, and John. Each section of the site was dedicated to one person, with design elements tailored to reflect their identity and perspective, aiming to offer an empathetic and immersive user experience.
In response to a brief focused on interpreting an article from The Conversation, I designed an editorial piece based on an article about the Christmas Truce football match and how a photo of a Greek Kickabout is often misused to represent it. Through careful typographic choices and imagery, I aimed to highlight the article's key messages: the importance of historical accuracy and the power of visual media in shaping collective memory.
As part of a collaborative module, I worked with another design student and two BA Photography students to create a publication centred on the UN Sustainable Development Goal: Gender Equality. The photographers provided images and the written content, while we handled the editorial design. This project sharpened my communication and collaboration skills, especially in navigating client input with sensitivity and professionalism.
For this competition brief, I selected the ISTD (International Society of Typographic Designers) Joybringer challenge, which asked me to explore a topic that could lead to a more balanced and joyful life through a typographic outcome. I focused on interior design, believing that personal spaces have the power to influence well-being and self-expression. My publication argues that thoughtfully designed environments, particularly in the workplace, can significantly enhance productivity and happiness.
