Project-03
Visual Dialogues creativity and sketching
Background
Due to its speed and low cost, sketching affords us the luxury of exploring a range of different solutions to any problem we are confronting. In this process, the sketches do far more than just capture ideas. Through the process of their creation, and the conversations that they facilitate, they are also a key vehicle for their generation and communication.
Context
Love That Commute.
On average commuters in London normally spend 107 hours per year travelling to and from work – that’s four and a half full days each year. Most of that time is stressful – it’s tiring, numbingly boring, frustrating and sometimes dangerous. This project is about how can I encourage ‘commuter engagement’ that eradicates the negative thoughts London commuters experience throughout their journey.
Research and Sketch
20 Ideas Drawing
01 Emotional music You can choose a music type according to your current mood, and the player will play the corresponding song for you.

Summary
Commuting is an indispensable part of our daily life. In this process, we will always encounter various situations. How to make people get rid of bad states and make commuters change their negative states and emotions is me. The main purpose of this project. In order to encourage people to commute, I first conducted research and analysis, and started to conceive feasible plans based on real data. Among the many plans, I chose two mature and more feasible ideas to refine them. The above is a demonstration of my project. As a person who was also plagued by commuting problems, I have put these thoughts on the system according to the needs of most people and hope it will be helpful to commuters.
