Title:
Some Space, Some Depth and a Side of Curiosity.
Thesis Statement:
Energetic spatial characteristics can intensify a message by grabbing the audience's attention through implied reality and curiosity. Therefore design can activate, excite and even manipulate a message's theme though spatial relationships.
Final Applications:
1. Two Posters, including a system/ method for allowing
economically feasible three-dimensional designs.
2. Three Journals, given to design students to provoke
design discussion, questioning and overall open-active
learning my trial & error.
3. Six Foldout Cover Inserts, that slide into the covers
of the journals to give an introductory piece about the role
and intentions of my thesis studies.

It was an overall exploration of spatial activity, message retention and economic three-dimensional solutions. The final application was to design print materials with pre-cut marks and die-cuts so that it could be easily constructed after being shipped.
Another addition to my final application was three different hand-made moleskin-like booklets. Each book let had a short essay in it covering my thesis studies as well as content questioning/ pushing design students to voice their opinions. In my experience and research I found many design students don't voice their opinion and/ or feedback out of fear of being wrong or some other misguided reason.
Each booklet was given to students and encouraged to fill them out with their design explorations, design thinking or simply their opinion to anything related to their professional studies and/or future inquiries.
