BPDA Conference Room, City Hall
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION OF BOSTON
D/B/A BOSTON PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT AGENCY


—————————— 

For the public meeting media assignment, I listened to a meeting on Economic Development and Industrial Corporation with BPDA (Boston Planning and Development agency) on Oct. 17th in the City Hall. This was my first time entering the City Hall and attending the public meeting. I chose this topic about economic development because I used to study economics, although I didn’t think I could master this field well and turned to a design major. Admittedly, I still have some interests and thoughts about the economy. 
The cover page for digital brochure


 When I was studying economics, I often chose to “escape” because of boring content and complicated digital texts, even I missed a lot of interesting things. Thus, for this public meeting media, I decided to make an easy-reading, and clear electronic brochure. I hoped that according to this digital brochure, people who want to join the public meeting with the topic of economic development, will not feel difficult to understanding, and on the contrary, discover more development spaces.
This meeting mainly discussed the lease, use or rent of Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park and other places with BPDA. During this meeting, representatives of different corporations expressed their requests for a corporation and development. Most of the corporations gained authorization with prepared information and materials. However, what impressed me a lot is that the company Memorandum of Understanding, who applied for the right to use of road tests, was repeatedly questioned by the Broad about security, publics, and other issues. After the meeting, I also interviewed Bill, who is the representative of Live Nation Worldwide, Inc. The reason he came here was to confirm whether they had been authorized with the lease agreement of 290 Northern Avenue.

When I first prepared my media, I thought about what genre should be accepted more easily for a long time. I decided to combine pictures with text to help readers better understand the information, such as using maps. At the same time, I recalled a lot of meeting contents and sketched pictures for meeting.

At the end of this pamphlet, I added an interactive part, and those who wish to know more about Boston’s city planning and development. At the same time, I have listed a few different options to see how various content and information that everyone is interested in.

 Handheld Media Climate Change & What You Can Do About It Handheld Media Handwritten Handheld Media Digital What topic did you select and why? The topic I selected for this assignment was climate change, and more specifically, the role each person plays in contributing to it and to help prevent it. Upon initial consideration, I wanted to choose an alternative topic. Throughout the creative process of making design decisions, all of my ideas came back to how it can best suit the needs of a reader understanding this topic. It is for this reason, I decided to stay with a topic I care so strongly about as I strive to encourage others to take steps to take action on this issue. Who is your audience? Everyone! The purpose of this handheld media in particular is to be accessible to every person. Because there are no expectations for the human impact on climate change, I intended to make my media as presentable as possible across demographic groups. The mix of illustration and statisti...

Vases, Faces, and Little Princes

                       (Pencil, 9’’ x 12’’, 163gsm) According to the assignment this week, we tried to separate our hand and eyes and used left and right brain, which was a big challenge for me. When I was drawing the vases & faces drawing, I tried to draw smooth lines, but I found that it was difficult for my brain to control my hand. Especially when I started drawing the right part, I always unconsciously wanted to change the direction of the lines. Thus, I didn’t draw the vases & faces as balanced and full in the end. The biggest challenge for me was the second drawing, I never tried to draw with a reversed direction. So, I couldn’t control the scale of the drawing very well.  Despite I drew each line carefully, I did not show every part of the drawing properly. However, I chose to draw with marker pen instead of a pencil, because I didn’t want to give my...

Social Justice Posters - Graham

 The social justice movement I decided to go with is LGBTQIA+ rights. I decided to go with this movement because I have important people in my life who are part of the community. While not being a part of the community myself, I realize the privilege I have as a cisgender male in today's society and want to use said privilege in any way possible to advocate for equal rights for all who fall under that umbrella. Also, the quote I chose was tweeted out by Gerard Way after the Orlando nightclub shooting in 2016 and he's been a large influence on my life + an advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights as well. The quote is as follows, "I've always just wanted everyone to be able to be who they want to be, proudly, enthusiastically- freely." The first poster I designed is 11x17 with a black background and white coloring and Chaparral font. I focused on hierarchy and balance for this poster by having the main part of the quote start centered at the top with the last 3 words spaced ou...
