CONCEPT
01
The diploma project reflects on people’s travel experiences. It is built on the idea that places and adventures leave lasting marks on us, so they shape our personality. I wanted to visulalize these journeys, creating a visual marks that embody these adventures. On the traveller’s ID webpage each person can generate their own individual pattern, based on the countries they have visited. New cultural impulses and influences shape this patterns reminding us on the great times we had at those places in many different ways.There is an installation as part of this work which is based on the travelling experiences of eight people using this visual code system.

THE VISUAL CODE SYSTEM
02
Each travel destination - each country has its own sign. They are non-figurative, easily distinguishable but all the thousands of combinations produce a unified appearance. There is common identifiable form feature of each continent. Identification and recognition of the signs (on stickers, on fabric etc.) could be further supported by an AR app in the future.
PATTERN GENERATOR
03
There is an interactive pattern-making program as part of the Travellers’ ID website. The program can customize the patterns: according to size (one country make up just as much space 30), priority (favourite countries can be bigger) colouring and layout (random/regular).
travellers'id WEBSITE - BRAND AND COMMUNITY
04
On the website we can browse and search the codes and order objects of everyday use with the patterns generated and saved. Social media can be used to generate community around it.
SHOP
The generated patterns printed on various fabric can be worn (scarf, dress, bag etc. )
