The largest and most comprehensive project of our senior year at The Design School, this research project demonstrates our ability to gather information, understand, and communicate a complex social issue through design. As someone with a deep love & respect for nature, I chose to focus my attention on the exploitation and abuse of wildlife in the entertainment industry, specifically zoos.
An exploratory project and introduction to our social issue, I had to design an analog clock that visually represented an aspect of the topic. I explored how I could visualize the exploitation of wildlife in entertainment, focusing on the abuse that many endure around the clock, as well as the shadowed side of life in captivity, removed from the vibrancy of life in the wild.
The clock was featured in the Red Square Exhibit space at The Design School. Later, it sold at the 17th Annual Poster Show and Auction, a fundraising event held by the class of 2025.
