Rhymes: Progress

The wheels on the bus go round and round.. round and round.. round and round.. round and round… (I have probably repeated that line a thousand times already.)

Since my chosen rhyme was inspired by the idea of commuting, I was led into the direction to conceptualize what I felt and observed during my commuting process.

I have came up with a few issues that I could maybe address in this assignment:

  • Stomp-style on ARMY personnel
  • Old/Elderly people
  • People and their chatter (noisy)
  • Smartphones/social
  • Kids

Some thoughts on layouts:

Layouts to best show round and round

Anyway, here are some work-in-progress.

“The wheels of the bus go round and round.”

For this sample, I experimented on just the literal meaning of the wheels on the bus going round and round in circles, going around the wheel.

“The people in the bus go ignore, ignore, ignore.”

For this, I have tried changing the rhyme lyrics a little to address the issue of the elderly while commuting.

wip5

“The people in the train go stare, stare, stare.”

wip6

“The people in the train go scroll, scroll, scroll.”


After much considerations, I have also came up with a dark narrative story too. This is inspired by an actual incident that happened to my grandfather a few years back when a tour bus ran straight into a public bus my grandfather was in.

Start from top left and go in a clockwise direction:
