Secret 7� Yoke - Duo Subject focus - Dialogue Brief synopsis: Yoke is a duo based in leeds with an aim to create an exhibition space that spurs dialogue between creatives. Submissions can take any form of the theme. It could reflect directly on past conversations, forms of interaction or it could spread further afield to what you think communication is today.
To complete this brief I gave myself 2 days. Creating a design that worked successfully on it’s own, and in collaboration with other elements. The focus of my design was on sound and its amplification.

Inspiration
As the brief stated that the concept could spread further afield to what you think communication is today. I instantly thought of music, it was saturating popular culture and fueling the celebrity culture, aswell as supplying role models and speaking to everyone differently dependant on their moods.
With this all in mind, I decided that music was a key point of modern dialogue. I began my research into sound waves and how sound can be depicted in different forms.

Design overview
The designs above represent my different resolutions to the brief, although the submission design has to be in black (for screenprinting purposes), it would then proceed to be printed in another colour. With this in mind I generated 3 different examples of how colour works successfully in the shape of my design.
Stood on it’s own, the bottom-right design has the stronger effect. It would be hard to drown the design by another design over it due to the spacing in the design and its positioning.

The exhibition
The following images display my work contained in the exhibition. Overall I was happy with the outcome of my design, it had worked the way I intended. Against the other designs, I do feel it was quite easy to notice (despite its positioning on the bottom rung). This is because the majority of designs were quite cluttered meaning it was hard to distinguish things from a distance.
