The three contexts I chose to possibly design for are the following;

A hallway in a children’s hospital, meant to cheer children who are there for surgery, and their parents. In this context it will be not only the children who see the tile but also the entire hospital staff, the children's families and also the big bosses of the corporate hospital who come in to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Tiled benches in a zoo, in a new part where displays of non-fiction about the animals help visitors think about the animals in different ways. The zoo tile will of course be displayed for the zoo staff, the animals and all zoo visitors. Also, besides these visitors, people such as higher up zoo commanders might be visiting and even more importantly, there is always the chance of press coverage done at the zoo and this is to be kept in mind.

A new unisex bathroom in Curtin Hall, meant to add some visual interest and cheer to the small room in the building where English is taught. Anyone and everyone will see this tile. Both sex's of those who have classes in Curtin Hall and also all foreign exchange students/teachers who come and go. This could be a tile to calm those who are opposed to a unisex bathroom and something that is both masculine and feminine. This tile could be the deciding tile in whether they keep the unisex bathroom or not... maybe fill the whole campus with them! Visuals really so affect your emotions and therefore this tile, as well as the hospital tile, will really make it or break it.
