This was for my Senior Art Show, "The Valency Project." A series of 15 posters were put all around campus in selected buildings, some with generic meaning, but most with specific meaning. The goal was to reach a variety of audiences with the content and to provide a defining style for each place and push my abilities while still maintaining a consistent style and source of information for each poster. These were then presented at my show to trigger visual memories, creating a sort of "catalog" of the images and a collection in the viewer's memory.
The coolest part of this project was to watch people come in with a friend and when they would get to the wall of posters, they would converse with each other about which posters they had seen on campus. Each of them would miss one or two at least, but sometimes between the two, they could fill out how many they had seen. Very satisfying.
Abstract - Art Building (Warren) - An abstract take on the Valency logo
Arrow - Registrar/Treasury building (Fite) - Representative of costs going up when you visit this building and being in the red
Arrow 2 - Financial Aid (Butler) - Representative of prices going down
Blue - Psychology Building (Chambliss) - Representative of a highway and journeys
Business - Business Building (Ted Russell Hall) - When printed to full 11x17 size, each tear-able card is the size of a regular business card
Circus - General Studies (Henderson Hall) - Representing the Theater Department housed here, among other classes and majors
Grunge - Men's Dorms - Eliciting the same feel as many of the video games that were coming out at the time, namely Call of Duty
Stained Glass - Women's Dorms - Picturesque composite photo made entirely of separate pictures and blended seamlessly together. No direct correlation besides wanting to show something beautiful
Smoke - Upper Class Dorms (App Commons) - Wanted something sophisticated, refined, and clean. This fit the bill
Hacked - Cafeteria (Stokely) - No direct correlation, just like this one a lot so I wanted a lot of exposure
Sidewalk Chalk - Family and Consumer Sciences (Blye-Poteat) - Representative of the Child Development classes that take place here
Sound Bars - Music Building (Tarr) - A pretty blatant attempt at creating sound bars like in a visualizer
Typography - Library (Stephens-Burnett) - An abstract typography. If you look at it as if you are looking above, it looks like lit boxes from the inside
Space - Activities Center (MSAC) - Cuz I like space and shiny text
Tech - Science Building (Dougherty) - Went with a tech feel to represent future and industrial science
