Lauren Evans<\/h1>\n

BA Graphic and Communication Design<\/h3>\n

As a designer, I take pride in my versatility and ability to tackle both commercial projects and those that are more artistic and experimental. During my final year at university, I developed key interests in information design and typography. These areas of graphic design provide me with opportunities for experimentation while allowing me to create engaging and impactful work.<\/p>\n

Music Visualisation Listening to music can aid a person\u2019s mental health, a benefit that deaf individuals don\u2019t experience. This project visualises a piece of music for those who are deaf through a 3D sculpture of Tchaikovsky, The Nutcracker Suite, Op 71a: Marche. This tangible, tactile sculpture offers a physical experience of music. Interacting with art has been found to improve mental health, thus the combination of art and music aims to improve the mental well-being of deaf people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Music Visualisation Constructed from wood, clay and string, the sculpture displays the notes played by 20 instruments, divided into musical bars. Using details from the condition of chromesthesia, the design utilises colour to visually communicate the piece of music, achieved by assigning a colour to each musical note. The outcome for this problem is a physical installation placed in an urban environment. The musical piece will play from speakers around the sculpture, creating vibrations for deaf individuals and adding depth to their interactions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Breeze: Typeface For A Biomimicry Exhibition Breeze is an experimental typeface created by mimicking the back-and-forth movement of grass blowing in the wind, reflecting the innovative approach of biomimicry. Intended for use as a display typeface in a biomimicry exhibition, it encourages discovery and excitement. The two variations of the typeface create unpredictability and will encourage viewers to discover what the exhibition has to offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
