“Many UK transgender students receive poor or non-existent grades because of the stress occurred within their learning environment.” This statement has given me the validity to start my research proposal; it explains there is ignorance around the topic of transgender equality, creating a frictional and confrontational approach within a school environment.


Define
My question explores how design can influence transgender equality, and how design can make the issue less concealed. The promotion of transgender equality will help schools become more inclusive for gender variant children; it will ultimately provide more support to transgender pupils.
Develop
I have been working intensively to create a set of icons which represent the terms which fall underneath the word Transgender. My extensive research suggests that the understanding of the terms is the most confusing aspect of diversity, therefore creating these icons will aid the learning process of pupils at secondary school level.

Deliver
Lexicon is an educational pack including a set of nine icons which represent the terms to describe the word Transgender. These terms are complicated and confusing, but Lexicon can help you understand and make sense of these different descriptions. Lexicon is a fun, effective and interactive way to learn about equality and diversity for teenagers at secondary school aged between 11-16 years.

Crazy Cakes is a new cakery in New York City. They wanted a clean, fresh quirky brand that described them as a company. I chose to create this brand with influence from their name. One of many definitions for crazy is "appearing absurdly out of place or in an unlikely position" I wanted to reflect this in the typography by making the characters seem in an unlikely position.

An education pack designed to get children aged between 5-8 outdoors more, to take them out of the classroom, and into nature. The pack includes an activity book which will lead them around a nature trail, coming across most things you will find in an english woodland.

Will eventually be apart of a self promotional pack to send out to potential employers. Playing on my name and the product 'Beecham's pills' The idea came from everyday life. When I get asked to spell my name the majority follow the spelling with "ohh like beecham's medicine" So i wanted to reflect this within my personal identity so people will hopefully remember me.

We have been approached by the BA Art & Design class to design their branding for the show. The theme is based around the students embarking on a journey, We have created a new typeface from the London underground map with each student reflected as a station, to show they are stopping off at different paths and going their separate ways when they graduate. Each student is portrayed through a colour from the tube map.

More coming soon.
