Assessment 3 - ADAD
This assignment was the most extensive, strenuous and challenging out of every assessment task that I’ve done so far. I struggled immensely when it boiled down to communicating the concept I wanted visually and having it deliver a sort of impact, and it made me pay closer attention to the finer details in design while still paying attention to other aspects that aren’t so easily customisable, such as the logo. This assignment really did teach me to work with a more practical, more ‘graphic designer’ mindset because of the presence of a client, which gave me a lot of insight into how a career would look like and the kind of work that I might do.
I think the harder aspects of this project came from the concept, personally. Since the concept had to be tied down to visibility, and is also an established brand, the ideas that could be forwarded would have to be complementary to the brand’s overall feel. I found a lot of trouble trying to make concepts fit and more so because sometimes, concepts that you don’t necessarily enjoy are the strongest.
Planning it constantly, reviewing the concept almost all the time, that helped me be more focused and attentive, given how I usually just jump headfirst without so much a second glance; that saved me from making numerous little mistakes I might’ve run into. I feel like I’ve gotten a little better with my digital skills, definitely, and that I have a greater appreciation for the finer details.
This task, I think, pushed me to really delve into the idea of communicating a story through visuals and how to turn that into something compelling, which is something I found difficult because I’m much more comfortable writing. It made me recognise what elements I could use to narrate a concept, how to set certain moods, tones, visualising words, and I see it influencing my practice, not all at once, as I’ve still got much to learn, but it’s started, and I’m highly appreciative of that.

Perception
This collaborative piece focuses on perception. Our group aims to explore the deeply vulnerable aspects of our self, revealing the internal struggles we face on a daily basis as we delve into our anxieties, fears, insecurities, raw emotions that are normally invisible. We bring all these into light through photography, distorting our images, submerging the audience into a kaleidoscope of colours and beauty, the discomfort of it all weaving into the piece, brought out through the use of synesthesia. The shining wavelengths of gradience that paint our faces lead towards the culmination, a change in how we perceive a person, from the mundane to a multifaceted individual, allowing the audience to visually experience the mind’s metamorphosis, the usual unseen; there is no black and white, there is never anything that simple. This artwork draws inspiration from Richard Mosse’s piece ‘The Enclave’ (2013), where it similarly brings out the intangible, unseen parts of the world by changing the natural colour of the luscious green environment of The Democratic Republic of Congo into a jarring bubble gum pink colour, unearthing horrific external trauma of their civil war, unveiling the isolation, the vulnerable and sinister parts of us. While Mosse focuses on the external effects of war onto the environment, we deal with the internal conflicts, the mental battles. Mosse’s piece is a jarring one, one that brings light to the truth and brutality, to the rawness of it all, and we hope that our piece evokes the same idea his did.

The Sounds Of Confinement
Inadequate, uncomfortable, restricted is the aura I felt walking through one of the most famous refugee camps located in Nablus, Palestine after the 1948 War. Walking through Balata Camp noticing certain facial expressions given to outsiders entering their temporary-permanent home.
Balata Camp is what inspired me to create and experiment with sounds within a confined space. Initially I created an Architecture model from a cardboard box; space is one of the main characteristics that define Architecture. I began observing space and its meaning; playing with the designs and shapes that were created from a façade through illustrations. Through understanding the concept of a space I began thinking of the sounds that can make up or create that space. Refugee camps; each family is assigned one tent regardless of the family size; restriction. Confinement in tents. I began extracting the sounds from video footage taken while walking through the refugee camp. I played with music certain people sang together and conversations about the ongoing conflict that I believe shaped the camp as a whole. It’s not the small space that describes the confinement but rather the conversations, sounds of frustration and hope and people that allow the audience to emotionally and mentally interact.
