Inspiration<\/h1>\n

The museum exhibit project pushed my skills. I chose to illustrate Rococo-style dress as my artifact since I have an affinity for overly extravagant things. Attempting to create an exhibit proved challenging as I was never attentive to museum exhibition layouts. I recalled that I had the opportunity to visit Guo Pei\u2019s fashion exhibition at the Vancouver art gallery a while back. I took inspiration from her exhibit and\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cDangerous Liaisons\u201d from the Metropolitan Museum. Analyzing Rococo portraiture was particularly helpful as well. Francois Boucher\u2019s \u201cMadame de Pompadour\u201d was the primary reference to the mannequin\u2019s pose and dress.<\/p>\n

Process<\/h1>\n

The project took me around ~30 hours to illustrate and ~20 hours to research. There were countless revisions I had to do as I was unsure how to approach my exhibit\u2019s layout. Initially, I wanted to put the artifact in a glass case. However, I realized it was too static and had no visual appeal. I decided to create a simplified scene to establish the setting of it being the 18th century. Additionally, I decided to contrast the ornate nature of the Rococo Era with a modern twist by pairing Zapifino with Futura. I figured that having a cursive display font with a contemporary typeface for the body paragraph would balance each other and not make the design too modern or overstimulating<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>It was daunting having to work with type for the first time. There was a learning curve when using Illustrator; however, I am glad I pushed myself to try and explore digital software. Overall, having everything digital feels more cohesive and clean. Working digitally is something I want to move towards in the future since I think it\u2019s easier to visualize layouts and provide examples of things such as museum designs or anything with type.<\/p>\n
