Test Your Fate was born out of workshop with Eva Creamer who proposed we consider how to create something more interesting than your standard poster for the end of year show. Therefore I've decided to explore the idea of taking away the fear of the unknown associated with graduation (see figures 1-7).
The Brief:
Highlight the fact that after graduation a lot of what happens to designers in up to luck or by chance through developing graphic elements for a pinball machine. The pinball machine has been chosen due to the element of chance naturally associated with the game and the ability to showcase multiple roots after university within one outcome. Furthermore using a pinball machine creates an interactive element, allowing people to test their fate, proposing roots they may have not thought about. This allows the conversation about life after graduation to be less intimidating and scary as the game acts as a light-hearted conversation starter. Furthermore the ability to try again highlights the idea that making mistakes is alright and the job you go into straight after graduation doesn't have to be the role you stage in forever.
Outcomes:
Working pinball machine inspired by life after graduation, highlighting the different roots people can take after graduation.
Considerations:
A lighthearted approach to a serious topic, fun, engaging, humours.
