kitchen of meaning

This project was an exercise in really understanding the meaning of a given word and also the world in which that word lives. We had to illustrate the meaning of the word on a poster, while advertising a theoretical exhibition in the Fine Arts Center.

dada poster

We were first given a specific art or design movement and did research to fully understand it.We were then instructed to create a poster advertising a showcase of that movement at the Blanton museum using buttons. I created a system in which the exhibit was open Wednesday through Sunday for 3 weeks, where members received  buttons on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday and non-members on the other two to play off of the exclusivity of the Dada Movement. Each week, the buttons would showcase a different key aspect of the movement. Aside from learning how to assemble buttons, a challenge was designing on such a small scale.

tasa conference book

Before embarking on the East Side book, this was the largest amount of text/content we had encountered for a project. It acted as the intermediate phase between the simple type specimens and the arduous east side books. The task was to create a program for people at an art conference.
