The Prompt
The 2014 Mississippi Invitational featured 15 artists living and working across the state. This series of images would explore the different artists in digital ads and on social media throughout the exhibition’s run.
The Design
I created the graphics above and below using details of featured artworks along with excerpts from the corresponding artist's statement. This allowed for each ad to “tease” the artwork without displaying the entire piece and to foreground the artists’ own words about their work. I chose quotes from the collection of artist statements that spoke to not only the art used in the graphic, but the overall theme each artist presented. Transparent, colored shapes from the exhibition’s title design and catalogue also worked to tie all 15 together.
