Critical Reflection

 Critical Reflection on the TubeTalk project:

RSA Boards

Doodle Posters 2

Doodle Posters Colour Palletes

 So, according to the survey, 1 in 10 people met their partners while on public transport;

and 1 in 3 people made friends during their commute.

(The link to the survey is here).

So I decided to make the series of posters based on this information.

20/20 Presentation: All Slides (Task7)

 20/20 presentation:
'London in maps' featuring the oldest and the most recent maps of London in different styles and media.
I have always found maps interesting and fascinating as they describe the place and tell the story behind it: about the author, about people, about the city and its history, development, and trends.
Each map can take hours to examine, and go through all the streets and districts.
See more slides, as well as some of the full-size maps, at a jump:

Poster 1

Colours and messages match their categories.
I changed the 'Socialize with' line into the hand drawn one.

Ideas For TubTalk Custom Messages

As decided here I will have up to 9 groups of interests and colours.
On the explanatory poster new the TubeTalk kiosk there will be the list of messages which would suggest commuters what they might write on their bagde.

20/20 Presentation Topic (Task7)

TubeTalk Mockup (Task3)

I did a mockup for badges of mouth and speech bubble shapes, and asked my friends to roleplay the whole Tubetalk idea:

Ideas for TubeTalk Logo and Pin Shapes

TubeTalk Kiosk Sketch

I roughly sketched how the Tubetalk pins kiosk should look like.
1. It should have boxes with different colours on the side for pins of correspondent colour and interest;
2. It should have a table for commuters to be able to customize the pins with a comfort;
3. It should have free pens/markers, so the commuters have something to write their text on the pins with (markers probably attached to the table);
4. It should have an explanation poster, so the commuters know the idea of the campaign, know which the meaning of the colours etc.
Poster can also call for the commuters to join the campaign;
5. It might also have the 'I found it!' board, where the commuters will attach their pin after they have found what they were looking for or if their 'tube talk pin' journey was resultative.

There also might be some volunteers involved, standing next to the kiosk and helping people know more about the campaign, as well as trying to attract more people to join in.

Colours and Groups of Interests

After analyzing the psychology of colours I decided to categorize the interest categories with these chosen colours for badges.

Importance of Sicoalization

Some information on importance of socialization that can be used for my posters campaign for Tube-Talk.

Socialization Survey: Results (Task3)

 

Here are the results of another public survey about how and where people make friends.
The purpose of the survey is to figure out if it is possible to potentially make friends in public transport; and what should people talk about to be engaged in a friendly conversation.

Visit to Tate Modern (Task6)

It was a great visit which started with a welcoming programme of some Russian band playing "Pomogi mne" in the ash-trees. Feels like home:)

Where People Meet Partners

A few researches results on where people get to meet their friends and future partners.

Psycology of Colours

There are about 10 different groups I chose for Tube-Talk, so I need 10 different bright colours to represent each group.
I looked through the colour psychology websites to figure out what different colours as associated with or represent.

TubeTalk Overview (Task5)

Work Plan for RSA Project (Task5)

This is my rough plan for the RSA project.

BookShare Underground - Books for London (Task4-fail)

I was so excited with my new RSA project idea of book share stands in the London Underground, till I ran onto this website:
http://booksforlondon.org.uk/
Apparently Book Swap has already been functioning for nearly a year on 7 stations of the London Underground..
