From Walk 1: Brixton to Elephant and Castle From Walk 2: Islington From Walk 3: Brixton to Camberwell I compiled all the visual data I had collected using LATCH, to map out the visual consistencies of all community centres that I came across.

Rotation B: Reflection
The open endedness of the brief for Rotation B was quite intriguing for me. I spent the first walk from Brixton to Elephant and Castle exploring the neighbourhood and understanding the surroundings without forcing a problem or solution onto myself. I was interested in working closer to my accommodation and therefore, I tried recreating the…

Rotation A: Reflection
Working on Reframing Mental Health right after PlayLab felt like a good transition because I could apply the divergent creative thinking we practiced and be over the top with my ideas. I was also looking forward to working in groups since that was not a focus during my bachelor’s degree. However, conflicting thoughts often become…

This is evident through the ample flowers, mushrooms, leaves, earthen colours, and the drive to DIY that the community fosters. As I assembled a tote bag for my cottage core audience last…

Week 4: Brand Narrative
Gulps of freshly squeezed orange juice soothe me as I sit in my home office, after a heavy workout. I hear the familiar chatter get louder as the sun goes down, a typical evening in my household. But I cannot join them, for I have miles to go before I sleep, quite literally. As the…

Week 3: Brand Personality
Word on the Water is an inviting and unpretentious bookstore located in a 1920’s barge on Regent’s Canal. The unusual setting of the bookstore makes finding and interacting with it mystical, like a hero finding a sage on their quest. But Word on the Water is not just a Sage, there is also an air…

Week 2: Brand Identity
Penguin Books is a globally renowned publishing house. Their logo, the penguin, is instantly recognisable and when seen on a book clearly lets readers know that they are in for a quality read (How the penguin logo has evolved through the years, 2020). Though the logo, a black and white illustration of a front facing…

Play Lab Reflection
One of my biggest hopes out of this MA is that through it I would learn to love the design research process. In my previous projects, my encounters with the design research process have made me doubtful and unclear. I believe this stems from a lack of understanding of the basics of visual research. Like…
