University of Wolverhampton student displays work inside father's Tardis
Doctor Who is something of an obsession for Jerome Wootton.
Not only did the graphic design student centre his final year project on the BBC science-fiction drama, he decided to display it inside his father's Tardis.
The 21-year-old's coursework is titled 'Experimenting with Topography - Minds Through Time' and features the Gallifreyan language used by Time Lords in the show.
LED lights change colour inside the Tardis 'magically' turning the indecipherable symbols into the English language.
Jerome, from Sedgley, said: "Under the red lights the writing appears as Gallifreyan symbols but when the light changes to blue the writing changes to English. It's kind of by magic.
"The posters make a narrative story of all the different doctors we have had from 2005 until the present.
"Each one features the final words of a different doctor before they changed appearance.
"The images on each poster are accessories that I associate with that particular doctor. For example, there is sonic screwdriver for Christopher Eccleston and a pair of 3D for my favourite doctor, played by David Tennant."
Jerome's father, Paul, bought the Tardis from BBC storage in Lincoln for £300 in 2014. It is believed the box was used for filming for episodes of the classic series in the 1980s.
Because of the prop’s age, Paul had to replace the windows, roof and rear side of the box before giving it a repaint.
It has since appeared in the Wulfrun Centre in Wolverhampton to raise money for Compton Hospice and was the centrepiece for Paul’s 50th birthday bash in 2015.
Graphic design projects by final-year students at the University of Wolverhampton, including Jerome's work, will be on display to the public at the university's Art and Design building until June 23.
