InstaPoster

Select an object to be the subject of an exhibition. Write some creative titles and design a poster. Now, let’s level up. The poster is actually a grid of smaller images in an interactive experience, sort of like you might find on Instagram. Design several branching sequences, that start from the individual segments, and reveal additional information about the exhibition.

Promotional poster for an event titled “Growing Connections,” featuring the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in a snowy landscape with blue overlays, navigation icons, event information, and a ticket call-to-action.

Longform article

This is not your parents weblog. Read an article from the selected list and research to develop a type and image system. Design a longform webpage article that communicates the editorial message. 20-point body copy text? What the what? Check those type sizes, they’re not the same as print.

Mobile App

Fake it until you make it or prototype it until you develop it. Create a seamless user experience exemplified through a user flow in an interactive prototype for a digital product. Make it magical.
