BFA Exhibition

well it finally happened! the show opened last night and I had a great turn out! Everyone had fun playing and reading the books I made. Its a bittersweet feeling having it all up, I am very excited and happy for the turnout, but I know I will be sad later when I have to take it all down. This BFA exhibition was one roller coaster of emotions and I loved every step of the way.  I had so much support from my family, friends, and professors and want to thank them all. Without them I could have not have done all of this. I will be posting my artist statement later.

Realm of the Water

 

the last ones for my series! really exciting! Bittersweet feeling, I'm glad all the paper dolls are done, now on to making the books and bigger pieces for my show.

Font Blocks

these were for my typography class, we have to make font blocks about a font, I chose Desdemona so I could design in an Art Deco style.

ABC Book

 

 I've been working on this project since the beginning of 2012. It was first for my Graphic Design II class and just making 6 spreads. While taking Typography this fall, we were assigned to make an book using the whole alphabet. I asked Ingrid if I could finish my paper doll book.  We had to include 10 cut outs of each letter, so we were aware of typography.  You can see the full spreads on my Behance account here http://www.behance.net/emmapbrooks. I just wanted to share the illustrations!
