BU MFA 2022 Exhibition

Identity, web, publication, title wall, media campaign
2022

The inspiration of the identity was drawn from the increased normalcy and daily usage of QR codes during to the COVID-19 pandemic. QR codes have become a new language that can express almost anything—from the transactional to the more mundane, from weekly covid testing to ordering food at a restaurant. In this way, they serve as a visual cue for connection. Like any real-life interaction, each QR code
that is created is unique to itself. The visual system was applied on medium such as poster, title wall, website, digital assets, and catalog. The exhibition took place from March 18 to April 3 at Stone Gallery.
