The exhibition was held in the Art Pavilion in Miles End, celebrating Middlesex University MA design department works. On Behalf Of focused on bringing the problems regarding Language barriers in healthcare to light. I created an A2 silk screen poster, 3 42mm x 42mm illustrative infographic squares and a 42mm x 42mm coloured square that was situated with my class's coloured square wall. It also contains an intro film (created through Procreate and Premiere Pro) that was played on a row of plinths.
The concept that carried throughout the silk screen development relied on the pressure children face as young translators, reinterpreting what their non-English speaking parents say to the doctor.
This was the original sketch idea for the silk screens done on the iPad Pro using Procreate.
This is what I would consider the silk screens skeleton, as it contains elements of what the final silkscreen morphs into. This was later transferred onto Photoshop and continued to be played with.
A design was created through adobe illustrator and experimented with the warp tool to simulate the words falling compared to the original drawn version.
The idea of using a teddy bear resonated better than a generic school bag as teddy bears and toys are synonymous with children and their representations. More developments involved the typography; opting for a hand-written style to connect more and feel more empathetic.
Typography was designed in Procreate and transferred over to Photoshop to be prepared for set up, splitting thicker type into the black master document and the thinner type into the white master document.
Final flat design that was to be used and prepared for silkscreen printing.
The Silk screen poster physically made within the university. Originally tested with blue and yellow, blue and red were decided as it has better colour harmony and legibility opposed to a blue and yellow combo which contained difficulties in its legibility.
Illustrated infographic series created through procreate and used indesign for layout for printing.
