Individual Reflection- Natasha Sharma.

Heyy, I am Natasha sharma and here is the individual reflection over my experience and learning on the topic of ' Dark and Light'.

           Firstly, this topic made me empathetic as a designer towards my consumers and as the topic revolved around the group of 'Differently abled' we were made more sensitive and yet logical over our ideas and designs. 

          Secondly, we understood the system that a designer follows. It's the process that matters idea is secondary. its a step by step process and not a leap. Thus our framework, our approach, our structure, our process and the system we follow matter more than the idea as it leads to the idea.

             'Good is the Enemy of Great'- this is what I learnt in the entire process that never fall in love with your work as that hinders the growth to think beyond.

               And the main thing that now I will follow is whatever I may design ahead in the course of my life I will always think of it to be blind friendly because my SRISHTI journey began with their topic and now I hold great responsibility.

Thought over the assignments.

Braille visiting cards.- connected me a step closer to them and their life and the way the live.( i found it difficult)

Simple clothing understanding for the blind- made me think like a designer when i came up with the idea of braille tags and a blueprint of every t-shirt with the texture. color, writing, etc my main motive was to give them a personal choice of what they want and how to get it instead of assistance.

Then we moved on to validating our opinions by stepping out and asking people about it and worked over the topic of transportation policies for the blind that gave us a lot of awareness. Came to know abut the universal practice over the blind all around.

Step by step we moved ahead, made N3 blind friendly.

thankyou.

    I would like to thank Narendra for his help and guidance.

Braille card project

     “You Can Read This”—This is what I wrote and brailed on my card as I wanted to add a humours turn plus an understanding and confirmation by the blind that what I wrote was actually something they could read J followed by my name.

      I would also like to add that reading or printing or manually making a braille is not an easy task. Hats off.

POSTER FOR THE BLIND.

Depending over all that i learnt I came up with a very simple yet meaningful way of expressing my thoughts over the visually impaired.

      Through this poster i have covered two aspects and aims of mine towards the blind.

1st.- equality and eradication of feeling of sympathy or inferior in the minds of the visually paired for the differently abled

2nd- to show that the blinds are those people who define and differentiate the meaning of colours for the world as what they feel and see is just the opposite.

3^rd- A sense of acceptance.
