Singapore Experience Design- Infographics

A few weeks ago I was given the assingment for our final Design Process 1 brief labeled Experience Design. For this we would be given a brief from an outside company that we would, in teams, develop into design solutions. The company that provided us with the brief is a charity called Building Trust International

Building Trust International work to provide education and assistance on sustainable architecture, urban planning and building management to help communties. This involves work designing shelters for tsunami victims, schools to cope with flooding and other humanitarian design work. The brief we were given was:

To design accomodation for migrant workers living in Singapore with the specifications that it must: be  suitable for eight people to live there, be fully self contained and be no larger than 20m2 by 4 meters high.

 For this breif we got into teams of six members with each member assigned a role within the group: Chairperson, Head of Design, Head of Research, Head of Materials, Head of Logistics and, my role, Head of Graphic Communication. These roles were intended not to be restictions on who did what but guild lines for who to organise each aspect of the work (e.g. everyone works on design but the head of design collects all the work together).

So the first job was to research Singapore and Migrant workers. As head of graphic communications I created these infographics illustrating some of the research we found.
