👁 Visions Show
Visions is the BFA Spring 2022 Graphic Design Senior Show at California State University, Long Beach.
As the creative director, my role consisted of adapting a flexible identity system, overseeing creative output, providing feedback, managing timelines, and forming specialized teams in marketing, merchandising, construction, etc.
Following a two-year long research process, I opened my brand proposal with the following statement: “This is not twenty-five designers represented by one show; this is one show represented by twenty-five designers.” What resulted from the proposal stage was an extremely collaborative effort across the board. Each designer worked alongside the creative director to establish the story we wanted to tell. This process included numerous logo sketches, art directed photoshoots, and special installation projects that explored the deep relationships found in collaboration.
