After Us: The Echoes of Humanity

The relationship between humans and the environment has long been a topic of discussion. Inspired by "Love, Death & Robots," where three robots visit a humanless ruin, I explore how human traces might fade in a post-human era. This exhibition aims to raise awareness about the post-human era through visual language, depicting humanity's gradual transition. The exhibition includes a brochure, posters, and other related products.
Learning Outcomes:
Through this course, I learned how to research and format lengthy papers and present the works of artists for exhibitions. I used the concept of a "documentary" as the design theme for the entire book and employed experimental typography for the posters' artistic expression. Post-course, I gained a deeper understanding of the subject and concept, and improved my skills in long-form formatting techniques.
Cover and Back Cover: The cover and back cover utilize a mirrored layout, playing with the context of "after us."
