This project is part of a 2-part project that explores objective and subjective approaches in design under the context of ‘the journey home’.

This particular project explores the subjective approach.

Having explored what those surrounding me feel about journeying home, I now look within and direct the same question to myself.

Inspired partly by safety videos we are encouraged to watch before take-off, I decided I wanted to create an animation that guides my audience through my journey home while suggesting that they should adhere to the habits I carry.

I dubbed the animation in making ‘the correct way to journey home’, a play on the fact that the habits I introduce in the animation are completely subjective opinions and has nothing to do with the act being ‘correct’.
