For the 4th and final year at McMaster university's Studio Arts program, the graduating class put together a graduating exhibition called SUMMA. The graduates pick a theme that they see fit their work or group as a collective. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, my final year at McMaster university was completely online and my graduating class had to navigate how we can produce an online experience for our exhibition.
I took charge of leading the graphic design team to produce a printed catalogue to compliment the online exhibition. I worked with a team to produce the logo, and worked with the photography and copy editing team to make a cohesive final product. After the visual design of the exhibition was executed, I worked closely with our curator and a freelance web developer to develop the online exhibition where I took on designing the user interface of the website. From the home page, to every individual artist's page, I worked on making a cohesive and accessible exhibition experience. The exhibition website closed in March of 2022.
