ELLA GORE | P2 FINAL

For the final project of the semester, I used color, texture, and pattern to imitate the vibrant sound and infrastructure surrounding bebop jazz and incorporate it into the viewer experience within the exhibition space, as well as in the booklet. The curvilinear walls and graphics reflect the contrasting nature of jazz and help the viewer understand the complexities of the genre, while the booklet acts as an informational guide to Charlie Parker.

ELLA GORE | FINAL BOXES

For my three boxes, I chose to exhibit order, comfort, and interdependence. Throughout the process, I experimented with medium, composition, and color in order to accomplish different things.

1) ORDER

To demonstrate order, I focused on creating a clean, simple design that would be easy to read and follow. I used black and white as I thought it best established a sense of structure. The use of the continuation of the lines in 'E' of RICE created a grid system that followed around the box.

2) COMFORT

For comfort, I decided to embroider typography and create a box out of it. This reminded me a lot of going to my grandmother's house as a child and helping her with her various sewing projects. I was reminded of the comfort and warmth of her household. I decided to show the backside of the fabric on the back of the box, because in a sense, I find it even more interesting than the front.

3) INTERDEPENDENCE (client proposal)

For the final box, and the one I would propose to a client, I stacked up letters from 'snap, crackle, & pop!' to create a pyramid running up to the top of the box. If one letter were to be removed, the entire pile would crumble. To me, this demonstrates interdependence more than anything else. I chose this one for the client, because I think it is the most interesting and readable of the three boxes.
