Version 4 (10/07)
End: 12/5/16
Duration: 5 Months
A dietetics student on placement in the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust came
to Magee at the start of the year pitching an idea for a collaborative project
between the Trust and the University. She was intending on working with a design
student to help her come up with a set of visual aids to help the patients she was
working with. There currently is nothing in place already and so Miss Marren
realised these graphics were a necessity. The research and content will all be
supported and carried out by the Trust and all design aspects will be carried out by
myself within the University.
6. Procedures to be used
a. Methods
Please provide a brief summary in language comprehensible to a lay person or nonexpert. Full details must be provided in the description/protocol submitted with this
application (see Notes of Guidance)
As this project is very specifically user group based, I will be sitting in a few of
these rehabilitiation meetings to find out exactly the user would like to see. I will be
presenting them with a few multiple choices visuals (i.e. a set of different colour
schemes to choose from, a range of different illustration styles, print sizes etc) and
one they have chosen their preferred options I can gather together the information
and draw up a conclusive evaluation of the design choices I need to make. This
means all the visual choices made, colours used, fonts used, and graphics will all
be totally justified.
