Smarter Understanding
For Differences Originals
This project is a redesign of previous projects to emphasise breaking the convention on understanding hidden differences. This is an updated project that also includes a human component and includes my developments and expectations as an awareness campaigner. The project is also a starting point to explore the Differences Originals awareness features along with certain links from the Plus Value Awareness family.
The concept is to move away from obvious associations with difficulties and assumptions. It includes expressive keywords at an angle with a group of circles on a continuous pattern.
This is to emphasise that expressions of lived experiences matter and not generalisations or typecasting.
This is incorporated as part of the presentation style of the Differences Originals feature (including a moon sphere and a circle overlay.
An information webpage of this project appeared on the Differences Originals pages of the Plus Value Awareness website. This replaces the former project "Moving Forward & Sense of Value". The decision on the project changed after the previous using visual references of jigsaw in a three-dimensional globe which was seen as offensive by many autistic and neurodiverse people
Beyond online
The possibilities can be developed in a variety of ways including Awareness posters & leaflets and exhibition design
