Re-iterate My intention for my Grad Project

My Project: “Diagrammatic Novel”

WHAT?
A visual novel
Decoded narrative literature in forms of infographics and diagrams

WHY?
1. To break the conventional ways of understanding and processing information
2. To create a tool or standard that not only can be used by Dyslexic, but also can be used to inspire creative individuals to apply more visual infographics for better communication in design in the future for both Dyslexics and non-dyslexics.

WHO?
1. the tool for Dyslexics
2. the idea for the creative individuals to be inspired

Th Final Piece (Part One)

Final Presentation Dec.10th, 2008


Cover of my visual book "Diagrammatic Novel"
Decoding a narrative literature (Great Expectations by Charles Dickens) for Dyslexia and to inspire creative individuals to apply more infographics in design.


Once open: First page


Open again to the second page on Characters.


The lines represent the relationships with each characters.
The size of the character symbols represent their priority role in the story.

The Final Piece (Part Two)

Open the third time: the themes of the whole story is represented in two different form of diagrams.


Colour Legend on themes such as Wealth, social class, affection, happiness, guilt, satisfaction. Each pie chart corresponded with each written key events. Visually, the reader can get a sense of the psychological aspects of what the narrator, Pip, has gone through during the story by the divided amount of colours in each chart.


The line charts juxtaposed the themes to show contrast. For example, wealth and happiness. In the story, wealth or Pip's fortune could not by him happiness.

The Final Piece (Part Three)

The Making of the project

Some exploration of type, colour, and form.

Going back to the Diagrammatic NOVEL!

So after talking with Don, I am going back to the first iteration, the poster, but still need a lot more fixing.

1) The poster is designed not for aiding dyslexics. Instead, dyslexia is a inspiration or springboard for my project. Therefore, the typefaces and colours choice do not have to be for dyslexics. Instead it is the type legibility I am researching on inspired by Dyslexia.

2) Work on the format (folding) of the posters.
Work on branding the concept of the series of other possible books. (ie) labels, packaging, some
other systems like cards)

CREATE A SYSTEM!

Colour Palette Revised

Thinking about the readability for dyslexics, some guidelines to follow:

Neural

Cream colours
off white

no glare
