Maha, more problems

After my first problems I went looking for more and I got problems that are similar to my other problems. Basically they all have to do with sign.
My problems are mostly to do with kids and their environment. Kids tripping from bags, kids running around blocks etc.
All these problems are related to safety and signs. I separated them and got two different ideas or images for every problem. Eg . Bag problems an example of where they place their bags also shelf problems. ( image #3 example 1 for bags. )
Not all of my problems will be added to my book but just the important ones that I think will connect as a group to make my book.

Now I have to take all my problems and try to make a story board to see the connection with the placement or pages organization.
2) Will see if images are enough or should add more images to complete each story
then when i'm done with that , i will have to go back and fix my images if I have images that are not clear with brightness etc.

Problems discussion

I got more images for my book and I tried to get different ideas of problems that I can find in Qatar Academy School. I found two more and I discussed the problems in class with my group (Ameera and Al Anoud). I told them the problems that I had which are the following
1) Sign Toilet saying 'Cleaning room' ?
2) List of classes with no direction. Also placed next to the lift which doesn't help whether you should turn right or left.
3) Students throwing their bags anywhere next to the lockers just because they are in a hurry or because there are no more shelves for their bags to put in. This ruins the look of the school. also it is not safe for anyone who walks pass by that area.

Ameera suggested I should think about showing a clear image of a student tripping, like maybe thinking of macro and micro to show the story in a better way instead of showing students walking in one direction and one way. She also said it wood look better if I actually took a shot of his foot being stuck in a school hand bag or something like that rather than just falling on top of a bag from a far distance. I should consider that to experiment with.
Al Anoud thought there is no problem with the first image (direction) because she thinks it tells you where the classes are in 'that floor', But I don't think so. Even though, you still would want to know where to go if you want to go to a specific class, otherwise you would keep on looking for it or asking people who pass by every minute.

After discussing these problems with my group, I realized there are also many problems i should keep on looking for. I also know what problems the school has already. I just have to go get the shots at the right time.

These problems that I will take shots of will be told for the next process...(Alanood Alattiya, Ameera Makki, Maha)

Qatar Academy Senior building

This is almost my final poster. I stuck images that I think a important (Qatar Academy). This time I added lockers and shelves to give an obvious answer about where this place is. e.g., junior building or senior. I added students to show identity and atmosphere. I thought it's very important and so I used hierarchy. Also I wanted their work to show, I added at the top of the poster so I can show who they are and how they are different than others for an example junior students or students who study at university. Books and textbooks are very important for students to have an it's always around school buildings.
So I narrowed my poster to knowledge and growth because when I see the poster and all the other images I took, I think of how students grow by knowledge or education.

Qatar Academy Senior building

This is one of my basic mind maps about what you can usually expect in a school building. I first decided to mind map about high school in general and then focused on Qatar Academy because it's what I chose to do for my project.


This is an idea of how I wanted my poster to be. I had all the senses that has to do with high school and specifically Qatar Academy. I played with he composition and thought of hierarchy. I believe all of my images in this poster are important because all of these images allows you to understand where these senses are coming from. You can see the logo of the school, colorful paintings, books and most importantly the floor which I see everywhere around the buildings. I though it would be important to add it because it reminds me of (Qatar academy) and that's why i placed the logo on top of the floor with a smaller scale.
The floor can, in a way, represent the school or the logo.

After understanding and knowing what ideas to add to my poster, i got to my first final poster, which is not bad for the first option. The reason for this is that the poster looks too colorful and it should have limits by using colors. Other than that, hierarchy is not well organized but the reason why i think this poster could work is because of all the senses included and the composition. The students at the bottom of the page also give the strongest sense of school (Qatar Academy)
