Publication & Exhibition Design

Fever Dreams, the dictionary tells us, are particularly intense dreams brought on by a fever. They tend to be turbulent, even convulsive in nature, full of bizarre and unsettling imagery.

 
 

THE BRIEF

Fever Dreams, is the name of the final exhibition that showcases the work of the 2019 Western Washington University Art Studio BFA. I was hired on to design the look and feel of the show which included promotional posters, banners, window clings, a final exhibition catalog, artist statement cards, artist’s work titles and an exhibition title wall.

Reaction

 

After I pitched the three ideas, the magazine, the book and the set of posters - the reaction was mixed initially in which direction to go. They loved the different concepts and the playful looks but they married the idea of having a bound book which eliminated the poster idea. They decided they wanted a combination of directions I and II.
