Time is Not Refundable –– Graphic Design

Visualising time as a non-refundable currency; when we waste time, it cannot be returned.

This project reinterpreted people's wasted time as non-refundable receipts. After talking about a mundane topic for a minute, or carrying-out similar interventions, participants were handed a receipt stating the amount of time that had just been wasted.

A typographic animation, in which the letters of ‘ITEM’ shifted to read ‘TIME,’ further strengthened the link between time as a commodity.
