Trade Show Archive is a project focused on the inspiration and community of disseminated trade show items. Showcased items celebrate the work of self-taught and/or formally trained graphic artists, designers, and illustrators. The Collections Featured: DesignerCon (2019) and ArtCenter GradShow (2019). By presenting a mix of their work, the idea here is that they're no different from each other.
Learning Outcomes:
I learned how to document disseminated items to create an online community via Instagram to help users connect with these artists/designers easier. I learned how to transform a range of self-promoting media into accessibility/networking by use of information systems such as QR codes, hashtag links, and @social media handles identified with their respective owners.
