Reflection- Mariona Pereira

Darkness helps you to fight to look at things in a different way, with your mind not eyes darkness is as important as brightness blind people are normal people like us, in fact they are much smarter in fact. We saw a brilliant documentary "what braille means to you''. When we were given our 1st project to make name cards for the blind I had to think of how to make it so that the blind  can read  and feel what is in the name card and even if I had to use braille then how to do it , what material should be used. So I decided to braille with stones and make a 3d pop out so that they can feel what I have done and I was successful in doing that I made an coconut tree at one end and waves at the other  to show that I am from GOA,and.2nd thing we had to design was a t shirt for blind so I decided to make a dungaree on the t-shirt  so that they could use it to keep their stuff in the pocket but because of lac of time I made a top with a bow and a small fancy pocket  and tag behind which said what was written on the t shirt. Next exercise was a group exercise in which we were  divided in 3 groups 1.public policy,2 Industrial policy ,3. Transport policy. In which we had loads of fun as a group and went to the post office , the library. And found that non of them were aware or had any policy's for the blind except for 1.the  next project was the poster project in which we were suppose to make our campus aware of the blind and not to consider them handicap but special in which we made a  different one. our next project was to make a manual  and sign boards I enjoyed the most in this project working  together after class in collage and having fun  though we had to keep all the aspects' for the blind and normal person in mind not only that ,we were also looking at this issue in a designers point of view ,eg..design of boards  for the class rooms we wrote as O1 which means ORANGE ROOM 1ST FLOOR and so on we made these boards in bright colours and we pot a contrasted  bored on each door ..
