Can You Hear My Accent? was my final major project for the MA Graphic Design Communication course at UAL Camberwell College of Art. A sociolinguistic project combining situated publishing with sound and performance, it explores how Central and Eastern European workers in the UK are judged by their accent, regardless of how strong their knowledge of English (written and spoken).
The project includes a short publication containing written reports made by different workers of Central & Eastern European background, featuring original typeface Glagolik, and visuals inspired by Central & Eastern European folk art and the Croatian licitar heart design. These interact with audio clips of the same reports being read aloud by these workers in their native accent, included as the sound element of the project.
