“Beneath the Surface” was the theme for Debrief 2022, a showcase of work by graduates from all disciplines of the Otago Polytechnic School of Design. As an intern graphic design student at Dunedin Hospital or Te Whatu Ora – Southern, I was excited to contribute to the exhibition with my own project.

For my exhibition piece, I designed a plinth using LED screens to showcase the artefacts on top. The LED screens added an extra layer of dimensionality to the display, allowing the viewer to see the artefacts from different angles and perspectives.

In addition to the LED plinth, I created a video that was displayed alongside the artefacts. The video showcased the process behind the creation of the artefacts, as well as their significance and meaning within the context of the hospital.

The entire exhibition piece was carefully designed to fit the “Beneath the Surface” theme. My goal was to not only display the artefacts themselves, but to also give the viewer a deeper understanding and appreciation of the work that goes on behind the scenes at the hospital.

Overall, I was thrilled with the final result of my exhibition piece. It was a great experience to be part of Debrief 2022 and to showcase my work alongside other talented graduates from the Otago Polytechnic School of Design.
