ABOUT

We received the following brief from the Whistle (“The Whistle
Project seeks to address this verification bottleneck with the Whistle
App, a web and mobile app that allows civilians who have witnessed
human rights violations to report them in a verifiable manner to the
appropriate NGOs.”):
Brief:
Design an effective way to raise general awareness of principles
and best practices for ‘amateur’ documentation of human rights
violations on social media to aid in later verification/aggregation by
NGOs.
We took this brief and really broke it apart so that we really
understood each aspect of this brief. The one thing we kept coming
back to was data so we decided to explore some of the challenges
of interpreting and/or experiencing the exponential increase of data
and the idea that users (people who use or generate data) don’t
necessarily know what to do with this data anymore. We took the
form of a children’s activity book to further simplify the idea and to
make people comfortable with playing around with this abstract idea.
