I have been very busy during semester two as the deadline for the Whispers Project<\/strong><\/a> I started back in semester one is unconfirmed but soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following on from my first interview I began drawing the person and designing the image for the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the final outcome. It felt great to see my vision come together and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the image of the words I was inspired by the environment and worked <\/strong>the rusted iron gates into the image as I really wanted to embed <\/strong>the students words <\/strong>into the route – make them feel heard during the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Whispers Talk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

On the 5th of February the leaders of the Whispers Project held a presentation where people creating projects could go up and speak a little about what they’ve been doing. I was incredibly nervous to speak about my project but I managed to do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really enjoyed the presentations and it was fascinating to hear how the project came to life. I was also awed by the different directions people had taken it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the talk I noticed that the interview image had some contrast issues and the writing was hard to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the changes I made afterwards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My second interview was with a fellow games student and lab member. Their perspective on Capital House was much more negative – a stark contrast to the previous interview, nevertheless I really wanted to further understand where they were coming from and had an enlightening conversation as a result. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the image I wanted to have some fun with the environment so I turned the bridges sides vertical like a ladder to house the words. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the third and final interview I reached out to someone from the Graphic Design course. She had not heard about Capital House before so it was interesting to see a fresh perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the visual communication of the answers I wanted to do something different that was not just fences or gates, the moss covered stones provided this opportunity. I focused on creating texture in the moss. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Working on Accessibility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a lab meeting it was pointed out to me that due to my work being PNGs someone with limited sight would struggle to experience the project. So, after the meeting I created a transcript of all of the interviews and compiled them into a PDF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Printing <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the deadline it was now up to me to print out my work and give the project leaders the layout and dimensions for the work in the gallery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

These are the specifications I used. I sought help from our technician in regards to the paper type and how to create the PDF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We used Inkscape to import the files and create the PDF whilst keeping the custom size of the photographs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then sent it to creative services. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once the images were printed they were in a large roll of paper so I used a guillotine to separate the images. To flatten them I laid some books on the corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gallery Set Up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

We now have an official date for the gallery opening, Thursday the 7th of May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday the 5th I have a slot to go and set my work up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To go with the gallery opening the curators of the project created this poster, I find it very cool to have my name featured. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday the 5th I went and put my work up. I went and collected my work where it had flattened very nicely over time. I brought with me double sided tape. When I got there I was given a wall, and got to work figuring out how I wanted them displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I attatched four pieces of tape to the images and arranged hem first on the floor below. After seekig guidance from the lead curators I decided on clustering them together in one big group. To put them on the wall I used a spirit level to make sure they were straight and only used the top pieces of tape to begin with in case I wanted to move them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I originally had them like the left image but settled on the right image. After removing all backing pieces of tape I smoothed them onto the wall and left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later in the day I was called back as there had been some changes in how the layout was going to be and they wanted my okay for them to move the images. After I explained my work and the specifcations that each interview and picture had to be together I allowed them to divide them around the room. I did not mind this as my lab leader had suggested this a while ago and I liked the idea. I will see how the images have been put at the opening of Whispers on Thursday the 7th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the opening of Whispers I invited my dad and sister along, we arrived in time for the welcome speeches and then we walked around and looked at all of the work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was really lovely to see what everyone else had done and how the student curators had organised everything.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts – <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project has been incredibly rewarding. I got to experience other departments at the uni and be part of a moving parts gallery show. Talking to students and being able to start to see their persepctives and how they feel was interesting and really got me out of my comfort zone by reaching out and interacting with people I wouldn’t usually have. Th support of the lab was amazing to have, being ablke to bring work in and ask for feedback and how I should go about things was needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undertaking this was stressful at times as alongside my coursework I had a lot to do but the experience was fantastic and I look forward to what opportunties might arise in year 3 with the lab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
