Responsibility
As Project Manager for the BFA Exhibition at my university, I led meetings and checked in on progress. I distributed tasks to my team members to create an exciting advertising campaign. I produced the artist catalog, which was created in Adobe InDesign and cataloged every presenting artist with their artwork. I met with artists to ensure that they felt their talent was represented properly on the pages. Finally, I showcased my own artwork at the gallery for the exhibition reception.
Deliverables
Artist Catalog
The catalog showcases all artists at the exhibition. I designed the layout to be uniform and sentimental after meeting with my colleagues. We had a few content requirements, but we also agreed on additional flourishes, such as a full body photo of each artist and what information would describe each artwork. When it was finished, we printed over 200 copies. Exhibition attendees remarked on the professional quality of our catalog.
Art Exhibition
The exhibition celebrated the artwork made over four years of dedication. As a team, we planned out where the artwork of each team member would go and how much space they needed. I featured my work done with writing code to create generative graphics. I presented large format posters featuring the code and graphic side-by-side and gave out small cards of each graphic. Attendees who visited my section took home their favorite design.
Reflection
The exhibition was a wonderful way to conclude my bachelor's degree. Working with fellow artists from a diverse set of fields gave everyone a strong sense of ambition. For my part, I was enthusiastic about the prospect of putting on a show and wanted to put my very best out there. That came with the challenge of managing ambition against limited time. I was able to work my team members to make sure our exhibition was up to our vision while also parting with expensive ideas. We learned the value of making the most out of our limited time.
