Y.E.S.  2024 poster + program + graphic identity + exhibition design
designed with Desi Lentz, Ashley Keeton, Anna Regnerus, Grace Spee, 
and Tara Kennedy

During my second semester as a Communication and Exhibition Fellow, I worked on the graphic identity for the Year End Show for the UIC School of Design. This show exhibits the thesis work for both the undergraduate and graduate classes.

The graphic identity was designed through a process of experimentation with cyanotyping. Cyanotype is a photographic print using light-sensitive iron salt solution and UV light. This process involved a hands-on approach to graphic design. It also became an opportunity to learn how to work with analog assets and integrate them with digital assets. I was tasked with redesigning the pamphlet and a part of the merchandise design.
