ArtsX

This project started as an exercise at the start of my fall 2019 semester. The exercise was meant to be about or inspired by BGSU’s art buildings. We took inspiration from Stefan Sagmeister’s identity kit for Casa da Música in Porto, Portugal. And created what we would call our version of this identity kit, as much as a quick exercise would allow for. Since I was a member of BGSU’s chapter of AIGA, I was able to propose that we use this class exercise as inspiration for merchandise at the upcoming ArtsX event. ArtsX is an event where art students are able to sell their work or raise money for their student organizations. After tweaking the results of the class exercise, we had a design we were happy with. My fellow AIGA members and I were able to bring this design to life with t-shirts, hats, and handmade puzzles. I have seen through social media that the design has lived on past my graduation in 2020.
