My design space for two strangers is created to aid the journey of two individuals from strangers to acquaintances through the need of communication to navigate the space and optimise it’s potential.

My strangers are travellers with an overnight stopover in Auckland City. I’m also wanting to emphasise that you don’t need to speak the same language to communicate effectively or to form a friendship.

The transition from strange to familiar is like that of sleep wake. In the beginning everything is new and unfamiliar. As we journey, we gain familiarity, and with that comfort in our minds and relationships.

Visual design strategy:

When deciding how to display my presentation i waited till the morning of my presentation when I had all of my work completed to trial different ideas for the layout. Because my work took up so much space I wanted to see exactly how much space was available for me to use.

I wanted the overall layout to feel open and clean so I made sure to leave room around each piece of work. When starting to pin things up I released that my site map was too small in comparison to the working drawings so re-printed it on A1. I originally had my atmospheric images on one A3 paper but decided it would look better if they were larger and seperate to create more of a flow from image to image taking you through the space.

This was my final presentation layout.
