Shining

Scale and Proportion Project

Digital Media

11 x 17 inches

In this fictional poster, I’m advertising my exhibition at the London Design Museum. When first thinking about my gallery options, I knew for sure that it had to be at a museum that specialized in design, as the bulk of my work would be graphic design based. The first museum that came to mind was the Cooper Hewitt in New York. However, after a bit of research on their exhibitions, I realized that they were really more web and technology based, and I’m more interested in the print side of design. After searching through various design museums in the US, such as the Chicago Design Museum and the MAD (Museum of Arts and Design), I still didn’t really feel a connection to any of them. But if this was my depiction of my dream exhibition anyway, why not go bigger? Where was somewhere I had always wanted to travel to? London.

It seemed like fate when I clicked the link to the website for the London Design Museum and a bold yellow page appeared. I have been in tune with a yellow aesthetic lately, so I decided to base my initial background for the poster off the color scheme of the website. I also incorporated the faded gray grid design to reference the design of the page on the designers in residence at the museum. I then added the girl to almost represent myself as if I was the current designer in residence there.

Finally, I named the exhibition shining to go with the yellow theme, and it dated it in summer months.

Aries

Cultural Heritage Project

Watercolor and Ink on Bristol

11 x 14 inches

When first thinking about my subject matter for the cultural heritage project, I struggled to choose one thing that ‘defined’ me. I could have done a piece inspired by my family’s Italian and Irish backgrounds, but we are not even that in touch with our roots. I could have made a play off my last name, Lamb, as that’s where a lot of my childhood nicknames originated from. Or I could have based the piece on my life as cheerleader, since I have been cheering for 13 years. I even could have done a literary-inspired piece, as many of my friends know how much of a bookworm I am. However, I realized the reason I was struggling so much was because I was only thinking of how others saw me, and not how I defined myself. Personally, I very strongly identify with my zodiac sign: Aries. I seek guidance in my horoscopes and can always relate with the personality traits attributed to my sign.

To further put my personality into the piece, I decided to do the piece in watercolors, my favorite hands-on medium. I used fiery reds and oranges to represent the Sign, and a bright pop of blue for the eyes to reference myself, as my eyes are my most defining feature. I also gave the girl ram horns to reference the mascot of Aries, and finished it off by adding the sign’s constellation at the top.
