Pip Cole - MADA NOW 2021 - Art, Design and Architecture

I am interested in design-thinking and voice-centred design as an approach to shape empathic communication tools. My practice includes brand identity, editorial, print, digital and conceptual areas of design.

My Studio Project is a culmination of my interest in education and motivation to raise awareness about our everyday lifestyle choices and their contribution to climate change. Cancel Carbon aims to identify simple ways to reduce our carbon footprint. The campaign encourages positive responses in individuals each time carbon is saved.

A Collection of Miniatures 1945-2014

This project includes 23 documented miniatures which form part of a collection belonging to my Mum. Many of these miniatures were collected on travels, others were passed onto my mum from my great grandmother dating back to 1945.

Due to technological advancements in contemporary society the practice of collecting items to cherish memories is becoming less common as many of our memories are now collected through taking photos on our phones and documenting them online. This project seeks to highlight the art of physically collecting objects to preserve memories and share stories.
