Exhibition Design.
FIGO Fabrics
This booth was created for FIGO Fabrics’ Spring 2019 release for the Spring Quilt Market annual trade show. Each wall displays one of the eight collections in FIGO’s Spring line. The walls showcase at least one garment, a project and one quilt which utilizes the fabrics within the collection.
Each display is enhanced by an accent colour, chosen to compliment and highlight the aesthetic of the individual collection. An element from within the collection was selected and fabricated using coloured paper and cardstock as a textural element. The intent was to draw attention with bright pops of colour and have a monochromatic backdrop to allow for the projects made using the fabrics to shine. The paper elements were intended as a textural element that played on the theme of the collection and added some visual interest, leading the eye to travel around the display.
Art Gallery of Ontario - Small Wonders Exhibit
I worked at the Art Gallery of Ontario in the Spring of 2016 for three weeks to fulfill the internship requirement of the YSDN program. I was also asked to come back for their Summer Education Program in the late summer 2016 for six weeks.
I worked with the Design Department, the Marketing Department and some members of the Publishing Department. I had a hand in creating signage, gallery posters, pamphlets and promotional materials for upcoming events and exhibits.
The below images are from one of the bigger projects that I contributed to. I was a part of the Small Wonders exhibition team where I worked with graphic designer Marilyn Bouma-Pyper to create illustrations of the miniature boxwood carvings. I was supplied with high-resolution photos of these miniature carvings and I traced the elements that the information panels highlighted. You can see how small the carvings are within the prayer beads featured in the images below. I created all the illustrations in the exhibition. This exhibition received an award from the Registered Graphic Designers Association in November 2017.
