On this project we where given the information and had to arrange it and present it. I chose high contrast color squares to emphasize the title. The poster was created in Adobe Illustrator and complemented with buttons for the exhibition.

Title: Identity Series

Instructor: Angela Dart

In this project, I designed a system of buttons marketed towards the Blanton Museum for a Graphic Design History Exhibition. I focused on the Bauhaus period and used the influence of designers, their work, and designed a specific button in that designers style for the Blanton Museum. I portrayed this on a cork board setting to enhance the playful nature of buttons and highlight them as a center piece to the image.

Identity Project

For the identity series project, I chose the digital revolution era of graphic design. I wanted to keep my system as simple as possible so that no one would miss out on getting a particular button, so it is arranged by day of the week. Additionally, there is a members-only button. 

The choice of imagery is not random. I chose to combine now-widely recognizable 8-bit images (most from the era of the then-new GUI) with widely recognizable classical art pieces to show how art & design were changed forever. Each of the buttons plays off of the action going on in the art piece, showing the functionality of the GUI. The broken page button is members only, an computer joke implying that only those who posess a membership can see the button.

This project was based on a button series that would be handed out at the Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas in Austin. We were told to pick a design era to create the series. I chose International Swiss style and made three collectable buttons for each day the Blanton is open. UT students would be able to pick one of the custom Longhorn buttons with a student ID. I feel as though i learned a lot about color in this project. I stayed very true to the classic style and feel a represented it nicely.

Identity Series

I was asked to design a set of buttons for a fictitious event at the Blanton Museum of Art about Dada. The buttons each focus on a different Dadist. Each set contains a portrait of the artist, an example of their work, and a typographic piece with their name. Each set is color coded. The poster design is inspired by Dadist typography, though I chose to clean it up and organize it more than they did. Since this movement is largely German, I decided to put the names of the days of the week in German.

We had to create a poster and series of buttons for a fictional commission at the Blanton. I created buttons based on the International Style movement.

"Identity Series"

For this project I chose the International Movement theme to create a set of buttons and a poster for the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin, Texas. I designed a set of buttons that contains the work of several designers from the International Movement. Each day, visitors can choose one of the three buttons offered on that day.
