Both posters explore themes that I am usually interested in such as identity, childhood, creativity, colors, space and the use of lines. I primarily thought about how to express flowing and lively lines through the group exhibition poster. Paul Klee and Glenn Ligon are especially influential to this assignment; Klee expressed lines that showed character in specific artworks and Ligon explores line usage through many of his works (especially his neon signage and figures - there is clear evidence of linework [especially since language/text utilizes lines in general]). I chose these colors simply because I liked the combination - green, blueish purple, and pink (I did not connect the idea of childhood and gender specified colors given to children at a young age - it was coincidental). I enjoyed making the solo exhibition poster, as well. I made a happy little accident - as Bob Ross would encourage - and continued playing around with the gradient tool. I don’t quite remember how it turned out this way. I purposely clicked on the warm colors, but I am unsure how the other colors came about (which I accepted for this poster because I enjoy the visual overall). Guggenheim was chosen as the exhibition location because I thought it’d be a good idea to explore a series of space (in multiple media, such as drawings, painting, digital work, etc.) in an exhibition hall that is circular and round (which would be extremely interesting to see utilized with a space environment). I imagined having the stars and planets move upwards and a series of shooting stars circling each level. This was what I imagined when choosing the exhibition hall. Overall, I’m satisfied with the results. I enjoy the busyness of the group exhibition and the simplicity of the solo exhibition.
