This presentation outlines the development of my major project exploring women’s safety when travelling alone at night. Building on reflections shared in previous blog post about design for change, the project investigates the invisible mental, emotional, and practical labour women undertake simply to move through public space. Rather than focusing solely on extreme incidents, the work highlights the everyday acts of vigilance that shape women’s experiences and contribute to a broader cognitive and emotional load. Through graphic communication, the project aims to visualise these often normalised behaviours, encourage empathy, and prompt discussion around collective responsibility of all genders for cultural change.
Project Brief
Writing this brief allowed me to properly articulate why this project feels important to me beyond statistics or headlines. It helped me recognise how much of this issue is rooted in lived experience not just my own, but in the shared conversations between women that have gradually shaped my awareness. Developing the brief made me reflect on how normalised this constant vigilance has become, and how rarely it is addressed any further then reminding each other as women to tale measures for “staying safe.” Clarifying my intentions, audience, and impact strengthened my understanding of how I want to use graphic design not just to communicate information, but to surface experiences that often go unspoken.
