    Marvel movies, IMDB, Rotten tomatoes, IGN and Metacritic
    The choice to show my data as popcorn buckets was a relatively easy one as they are almost synonymous with going to the movies. The varying sizes provided a great precedent to show average rating and compare them. The stripes found on traditional popcorn buckets were also an opportunity to show the amount of money made. By creating this connection to wider movie culture, the popcorn buckets becomes a collectible that fans of the marvel movies can acquire.

    Mental Health within the Creative Industries, Never Not Creative 2024 Survey and Australian Bureau of Statistics
    "What makes (media) work special is also what can make its people sick." - Mark Deuze. While the Creative Industries thrives in individuality and artistic expression, anxiety and depression are rife amongst many of us. And although it is hard to pin down definitive causes, the work and culture we surround ourselves in might indirectly bring about mental illnesses. Mental Ties is a Workplace Community initiative within the Creative Industries, aimed at raising social awareness around employer responsibility for mental health. Worn as a fashion and political statement, the pleated tie and accompanying tie clip visualise industry and personalised data of a creative's mental well-being – discreetly divulging their mental state to their supportive inner community and workmates. A play on the term 'relationship ties' and a symbolistic creative form of expression, this fashion accessory aims to incite meaningful improvements for this systemic issue.

  • Chae Youn Kim & Alice Mann, Friendship in Australia

    The topic is on the characteristics of friendship in Australia amongst young Australians. Data was sourced with both secondary and primary data collection. 138 young Australians were surveyed to respond to 5 questions regarding their close friendships. Data was also sourced from ‘Relationship Indicators 2022 Report’, Relationships Australia, and findings from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's findings on 'Peer relationships and social networks'.
    The data is displayed through friendship bracelets and necklaces as these pieces of jewellery are commonly worn between friends to demonstrate the bond between each other. Additionally, the infographic booklet doubles as a scrapbook to encourage friends to place photographs and polaroids of their most precious friendships memories on film. As friendship bracelets and necklaces are a commonly shared artifact used to display and symbolise close relationships between friends, the visual form directly relates to the chosen data of friendships statistics among young Australians.
