Catalog of Influences

Junior Graphic Design Studio — 2018–2022

The purpose of this project is to begin defining a design identity by developing an awareness of past and present practice, influences, and inspiration. You will present complex information clearly and legibly, practice developing type and image systems, create a visual and editorial narrative over a sequence of pages, and practice and refine type and image layout skills.

Describe, define, and curate the objects, events, perspectives, and ideas that inspire you as a graphic designer. Catalog and analyze your collection. Develop a curatorial point of view based on your collection. Design a minimum—100pg catalog presenting your design influences. Your curatorial perspective will define your publication’s form and format. Develop an editorial system based on this curatorial concept; your system should include strategies for working with text and images.
