Projects
finished is a June word
Each project grows out of a few weeks of log entries. This page is the tidy version: what the brief asked, what I made and where it is now.
Projects are marked against the college’s four criteria: research, development, making and reflection. I mark the reflection myself first, then compare with my tutor’s mark.
Wayfinding · weeks 01–03
A first-timer’s map for the bus stop on Pell Street. Built from a day riding the route and six timed tests with classmates.
Landmarks beat street names for people who don’t live here.
Recruit testers who have never visited, and test at the real stop in the rain.
Typography · week 02
A type study for the college library’s shelf ends. Six sizes and three weights, read aloud from two metres by six volunteers.
Past a metre, weight matters more than size.
Test under the library’s evening lighting, and with someone who wears reading glasses.
Practice · ongoing
Not a brief, a habit: one sketchbook page before I open a laptop. It is where every project on this site starts.
Ideas on paper are cheaper to throw away, so I throw more away.
Date every page. Half of September is undated and I can’t match it to the log.
