Hi my name is Peter Wojakowski
I'm a second years graphic design student.
My focus on my work lays on helping people,
data design and branding. I'm strong in communicating, social behaviour and motivating.
My biggest pitfall is: not designing. I sometimes get lost in research, research and research.
I'm soon in a couple of days 22 (6 may). Exciting time to celebrate that with zoom (;
Disclaimer:
This photo was taken before peter discovered 0,5l beers in the supermarket for 60 cents. So some pounds
got added.
Here we can see 3 pictures that I chose from my camera roll since lockdown.

Artwork I made for my living room. I'm living with 3 girls, so that explains the vagina's and penis.
I have two rooms, one for sleeping and one for working. This one is for working (;
I got some beers with my friends, 0.5l one's are the best.
Assignment_02
How can distribute systems be designed in a way that the user knows about the consequences?
Project made in second year called I-Weight.
It displays to the user the true truth about the I-cloud.
It's often seen as something that's in the air, cloudy, harmless and doesn't use any energy. But in reality it uses a lot more energy, isn't green at all and is built of wires.

Drifted Friendships:
A project about how friendships ended in the past few years. It's confronting for myself and my ex-friends
Assignment_03
Sitting in this lockdown I had a lot of time to think about certain aspects in my life. I moved to Rotterdam 2 years ago. It was one of the best dicisions in my life, I could start a new life. I call this Rotterdam era my third life. Before I lived in "het gooi". In my second life I studied in Utrecht. I made a lot of friendships down the road, but most of them faded. Is that because of me, because of them or is it just fate? Down here you will see some data I gathered. Still don't know to visualise it.

Balcony Session:
A app to connect with your neighbours,
and have an activity together.
This app is inspirited by a silent disco that I had two weeks ago. We all got headphones on and were listening to the same music, we dansed together and had a great time. I think this is a beautiful example how you can connect with each-other. You're social, but then on a distance.

Motivating people to reopen the friendship you had
(performative action or interaction within the pandemic (partial) lockdown context)
I had a lot of conversations with close friends. They all told me that they now felt who their real friends were. Because people reach out to them more, and are more selective with who to talk to. This also applies to me.
But what I noticed that with all this time to think and think I have to say that I miss some of my old friends. Sometimes your friendships get lost in time because of work, moving or different visions.
Could I make a tool to redeem these friendships?

I grouped with Maya for the resit period. After all these months of isolation it was refreshing to work together again.
Since the lockdown was basically over for her, while I was already back in Armenia in a full quarantine, we couldn’t relate the COVID isolation of April anymore. First, we had the idea of doing a projection mapping and sharing thoughts of people on buildings, so basically having the contrast of small bits of personal thoughts on big, uncomfortable spaces. This took us to a conversation about our current situations, and we realized that, in a way, we have similarities in our background: some current political heat, the socialist past, a lot of abandoned spaces.
We thought it’s more relevant and more open (educational, why not) to combine our current situations, common historical past and connect our project to it.
Also, we noticed how the quarantine detached people from the world, as everyone was literally interacting with their own close, small environment (room, laptop screen), so we wanted to create a space where people could just share simple images from their lives and see, learn what life is like in other parts of the world.
We thought of making collages with all these scenes/buildings and distribute it as posters around with short texts about human survival/class struggle/social conditions, however, not in a very sophisticated way.
For collecting images and sharing with people, we thought opening an Instagram and taking people’s submissions of places they live in, or just images from their city that mean something to them. This could be an Instagram page for instance. That would also allow to create a network and share personal images of scenery, to make these collective images (collages) and talk about really simple, human actions and encourage humans to share their visual environments with each other and think about questions, especially after/during a pandemic that has made us question a lot.
Our audience is every citizen, every person who evern walks around or just wonders how people further than they are living.
