Music Visualisation Listening to music can aid a person’s mental health, a benefit that deaf individuals don’t experience. This project visualises a piece of music for those who are deaf through a 3D sculpture of Tchaikovsky, The Nutcracker Suite, Op 71a: Marche. This tangible, tactile sculpture offers a physical experience of music. Interacting with art has been found to improve mental health, thus the combination of art and music aims to improve the mental well-being of deaf people.

Music Visualisation Constructed from wood, clay and string, the sculpture displays the notes played by 20 instruments, divided into musical bars. Using details from the condition of chromesthesia, the design utilises colour to visually communicate the piece of music, achieved by assigning a colour to each musical note. The outcome for this problem is a physical installation placed in an urban environment. The musical piece will play from speakers around the sculpture, creating vibrations for deaf individuals and adding depth to their interactions.

Breeze: Typeface For A Biomimicry Exhibition Breeze is an experimental typeface created by mimicking the back-and-forth movement of grass blowing in the wind, reflecting the innovative approach of biomimicry. Intended for use as a display typeface in a biomimicry exhibition, it encourages discovery and excitement. The two variations of the typeface create unpredictability and will encourage viewers to discover what the exhibition has to offer.
