Identity Series

The goal of this project was to establish a visual format for continuity and identification related to graphic design history.  For the identity series, I created buttons for the Blanton Museum of Art, which resembled the Dada movement showcasing a system I created. My system was made based on the days the museum was open and various artists who had an impact during this avant-garde movement in the early 1900s.  In my system, each day was dedicated to one of six artists—Francis Picabia, Kurt Schwitters, Max Ernst, Raoul Hausman, John Heartfield, and Hannah Hoch. Artists are in order of the year of one of their most popular works. Attendees have the option of choosing between one of the three buttons made for that particular day of the week.

 Kitchen of Meaning

In graphic design II we were to select a word from a varied list that we would focus on Kitchen of Meaning poster on. The poster would be advertising the date of an upcoming art show while illustration and defining our word through the poster. The poster was to include our word, the name of the show- " The Kitchen of Meaning"-, the location, place and the names of all the students. After researching our word and designing studies, we were to draw thumbnails and begin the process.

Metonymy is defined as a figure of speech used in rhetoric in which a thing or concept is not called by its own name, but by the name of something intimately associated with that thing or concept. It works by the contiguity between two concepts and may also work by calling up a domain of use and as an array of associations while working with the associating meanings in the same place.
