Below was the second design mock up, where 3D faces were built up using layered paper, this idea came about due to the nature of talking and speaking clocks initially being introduced to the visually impaired therefore they could hear the time. Therefore I developed my first idea of a timeline and simplified it to just the simplified geometric shapes of the faces, and built these up with layers of paper to produce a 3D embossed effect, which will be able to be felt and touched.
Then to further develop this concept and idea, I borrowed a braille typewriter and typed out the names of each person who had been the voice of the clock, then stuck these next to the faces, therefore visually impaired people could feel the faces and braille at the same time to try and visualise what the voice they were listening to belonged to.
However this piece didn't fit the brief, as it needed to be a printed document therefore I developed on this idea and began to photocopy them however this didn't show up the braille or shapes that made up the faces very well. Therefore scanning them and image tracing them on illustrator worked very well and produced some very interesting textures and images.
