Senior Review & Exhibition Proposal by brianwagnerjr

Senior Review & Exhibition Proposal

Bachelor’s in Arts with Graphic Design Concentration + Minor in Marketing EXHIBITION STATEMENT

When I think about the senior show, I think of it as a way of showcasing both what I’m strong at and what I’ve done, both in school and out of it, that I am proud of. To that end, I want to focus on the most impressive works, regardless of what medium.

internships because I want to showcase my job expertise. This includes the work I’ve done during my internship for Florida Parishes Bank, as well as the work I’ve done for Aramark’s department within our university’s dining department.

I’ve made sure to include works that are from different classes such as my Motion work, Environmental work, and even my Web Design concepts. If certain projects are refined and finished on time, I’d like to also show one or two wooden environmental projects as a means of showcasing my flexibility. I also want to include work I’ve done for my

But above all else, I want to show the value of the education I’ve received at Southeastern. My time here has definitely had its ups and downs, but overall I think of the entire experience very positively. It has greatly improved my overall skill and knowledge of the Graphic Design field. This, if nothing else, is what I want my senior exhibition to showcase.

This is an approximate rendering of my exhibition proposal, made using Adobe Dimension CC. Materials required for my exhibition: 1 x Gallery Display Area 1 x Gallery Pedestal (Small) 2 x Tables (or other Horizontal Display) 2 x Computers (Any sort will do) 1 x Dining Hours of Operation Display (I have gotten permission to use this!) PG. 5 â&#x20AC;˘ Exhibition Statement

QUESTION 01 “Describe your thesis exhibition proposal using your schematic and the artwork you have presented.” Flexibility is the aspect of my design work I wish to emphasize the most. I’ve always thought that a diverse portfolio was important. To that end, the work submitted in the exhibition should represent the strongest work I’ve created in all mediums - print design, digital/web design, motion graphics, environmental, and more. The schematic features 19 pieces. However, the collection of motion graphics video is counted as one work. My exhibition will represent a collection of both works from college as well as work I’ve done on my

own or for internships or commissions. My space would be divided into two portions, with supplementary items (such as the Aramark Display, the Environmental work, and the two computers I requested) around the main shelves. Sticking the Senior Project works together is important to me as well, as I feel it gives a solid idea of what my ‘final’ work was in the course program. Internship work is also featured, demonstrating the job experise I’ve acquired over the last two years.

PG. 7 â&#x20AC;¢ Question 1

QUESTION 02 “What area of graphic design are you interested in and why? Using your portfolio, please point to examples of this type of work.” Given my appreciation for several types of design work, I find it difficult to pin down exactly what I like. I’ve enjoyed working with Print, Digital, web, and even environmental (albeit I definitely need practice there). However, I think my print works have surprisingly been some of my strongest, such as my More Into Less Booklet or my Tabletop Toolkit packaging. I noticed not only did these two examples recieve praise from professor and student alike, but they also were particularly enjoyable to work on: I love working on the technical aspect of

books, and find it easy to sink my teeth into a gigantic project involving setting type and imagery. Still, I don’t necessarily think print is all I’m interested in. I believe the easiest description of my work stems from the concept of “theatrical” or “blockbuster” design. I have an affinity for works that are bold and vivid, highly textured or even just oozing the personality of the company. It’s particularly evident in my Tabletop Toolkit packaging, but even moreso represented in the work I did with Black Dragon.

PG. 9 â&#x20AC;¢ Question 2

QUESTION 03 “With which design, theatrical, or art history traditions does your work formally or conceptually align?” I find my work has a commercial or technical edge to it. I typically sway away from idealogical works, or works that say things indirectly. I’m passionate about designing with a purpose in mind, and I love seeing advertising that grabs attention in the age of adverts. Combine this with an overall appreciation for readability and cleanliness, as well as formality in type arrangement and grid arrangement, and I think it’s easy to point to a certain style. The easiest comparison for my grid-based layout preference is the International Typographic Style, or Swiss Style. This prominent design style arose in the 1950s and was the style responisble

for emphasizing readable, clean type arrangement in a grid-based layout. Artists such as Paul Rand represent both an appreciation for the Swiss Style and enthusiasm for commercialism. Ideologically or conceptually, I tend to sway towards artists like Wayne White and Ed Fella, who seem to be very lax with what they consider appropriate for art. I’ve never enjoyed the concept of holding yourself or art in high regard, and while I’m not one to personally care about ‘deconstructing the idea of art’, I appreciate their carefree casual attitudes and the work they do. They simply do what they want to, and popularity rightly follows.

PG. 11 • Question 3

QUESTION 04 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who are your stylistic influences? How have they impacted your work? Give an example by naming one source and discussing one of their artworks in detail. â&#x20AC;? My biggest influence in wanting to get into the design field lies in videogames, which have been my most enjoyed hobby since I was old enough to hold a GameBoy. So, it only makes sense that my biggest stylistic influences came from this area. One of the biggest videogames responsible for my style and interest in broadening my design horizons is the creative title All Points Bulletin: Reloaded. It is, by far, my favorite example of a multitude of different artists coming together to create the most vivid and different body of work Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen. The advertising features gritty sprays and stylized character drawings, the in-game advertisements a combination of satirized products and companies and genuinely attractive design choices.Vivid texture, impressively rendered drawings... every inch of the city had something new to look at. This was because APB:R had numerous artists behind the helm, so numerous different designers

got to leave a distinctive mark. It was so expressive and different from anything I had seen before. This was how I began to really dive into Design: I emulated everything I possibly could. A lot of it was beyond my scope at the time, but I grew immensely as a designer by simply trying to replicate the visual style that oozed out of every corner. It opened my eyes to a lot of different styles of art, and inspired me to make the choice to become a designer. One of my favorite artists from the game is Jack Oakman, who was a lead designer on the team. I admire his ability to work within numerous mediums (from UI to 3D Models to even scenary and conceptual design), and have been in contact with him. He has a strong graffiti-inspired style in his promotional work for the game, but his independent work is heavy on texture (as it has to be, given the 3D Model expertise).

PG. 13 â&#x20AC;˘ Question 4

QUESTION 05 “Can you tell us about your experience with your internship? Where did you work and what type of work did you do? Did you find this experience useful? What was one of the biggest takeaways or challenges?” I worked with Florida Parishes Bank as a graphic design and marketing intern. This particular office is their main offices in Hammond, not too far away from Southeastern. Up until this point, their work had mostly been done out-of-house, by hired independent workers. My experience was largely positive and representative of what it is like working for a non-design company, something that I believe is invaluable for design students. I created print advertising for publications such as the Daily Star and Southeastern’s own Lion’s Roar, as well as digital advertising using Google Adwords. I also worked on updating the company’s

logos, brochures, and other stationary. I had to consult other workers when working around the regulations and compliance issues that arise from bank work. The biggest challenges were learning Google Adwords (or Google Web Developer for the program version). I think it’s important to be open to learning new programs, especially the Adwords platform, as it is one of the largest advertising platforms around. Most design jobs use the platform to some capacity, so I felt this was the most valuable thing I gained experience in.

PG. 15 â&#x20AC;¢ Question 5

QUESTION 06 “What is the strongest attribute of your work? How is this strength apparent?” Aside from the flexibility I mentioned earlier, I feel my strongest attribute is in my use of vivid texture and color choices. I also have a natural enjoyment in the technical side of design work, including working with typography and layouts. This aspect of design might seem mundane to most, but having a design come together feels fantastic to me. I also believe my photography and motion instincts are strong despite never taking any many formal classes in either subject. In other words, I believe I excel at “grabbing the viewers attention” with intricate, detailed graphics, typography, and imagery. The biggest examples

of this concept of my work can be found in my Tabletop Toolkit works, which I believe showcase an incredible amount of detail for how simple they are in concept. Something about the intense element graphics, and textured background behind it, makes the user want to stop and examine the work. But my motion graphic work, especially my independent commission work, sells this idea in spades: a lot of my work was particularly tailored to catching a viewer’s attention in the first ten seconds of a video, something I pride myself in being very successful at.

PG. 17 â&#x20AC;¢ Question 6

QUESTION 07 “What were the challenges in creating this work? How did you address these challenges?” One look at any of my prior work in Print Design or Environmental Design makes my biggest weakness apparent: craftsmanship and physical handiwork. I’ve always found it difficult to work with my hands in my work, particularly when the work calls for steady cutting or careful adhesive application. Indeed, most things that don’t involve computers give me a lot of trouble even now. Addressing this weakness is a constant challenge that I attempt to fight every time it arises. The biggest solution has been practice, although I find double sided adhesive rollers to be a god-send in dealing

with my problems with adhesives. Cutting is still a large issue, however, and I wonder how long it will take until I get better at it. However, it has not all been a loss: my work on the Tabletop Toolkit packaging shows great promise, as my window cuts have been perfect this time around. My work on the actual overall craftmanship varies. These examples are a few of the older images I’ve taken of the project, which showcase both good elements (the window cuts and assembly) and bad elements (jagged cuts and uneven edges). I hope to only improve myself in this weakness over time.

PG. 19 â&#x20AC;¢ Question 7

QUESTION 08 “What are your strategies for entering the graphic design field? Taking into account that your first job will most likely not be your ideal job, what sacrifices are you prepared to make? If you are already working in this field, discuss your ongoing strategies for advancement to reach that ideal position, and what would that be?” While I am in a design job at this time, they intend to continue serving internship positions after I graduate. I believe I have already had to face the idea of not having the ‘ideal job’, both in my work in fast food and in working for companies that are not the ‘ideal’ for a designer. So, I am willing to make every sacrifice I can as long as I am paid, even working for people I may not necessarily agree with. The only thing I have reservations about is living in New Orleans, but even that I’d be willing to compromise on. I’ve always wanted a job I enjoyed doing, and design was something I’ve always enjoyed doing. However, I abhor the idea of being a teacher or working for a gallery. So, I want to work for

a company that is not directly related to design but where a graphic designer is an essential role. Ideally this would be some sort of game design position, but I’d be willing to work anywhere that fit that criteria. I also want to eventually move out of Louisiana and live in a populated city. My strategy, thus, is to apply to every single design job opening I can think of until one sticks. This will be a temporary stopgap to earn work experience in my field. Positions that feature game, movie, or other entertainment as the focus will take precedent. I’ll leverage my diverse portfolio and practical skillset as my biggest advantages, especially in knowing print media industry standards and in knowing how to design for Google Adwords advertisements.

This booklet was created for Brian Wagner’s Senior Exhibition. It features responses to the assigned questions, as well as a comprehensive look into my plans for the exhibition. Special thanks to the following people: To the wonderful people at Florida Parishes Bank and Aramark, who helped me gain valuable work experience and kept me afloat. To my friends and family, whose support has been essential in keeping me on my path to the future. To my professors, Gary Keown and Tasheka Arceneaux-Sutton, who put up with me and have been fantastic in helping me learn design. I still have a lot to learn, but I’m definitely more prepared now than I have ever been. To the Student Union’s The Document Source, who helped me print numerous last minute jobs for my classes. Without you, I’d probably have failed by now. More than likely.

Thanks to this unnecessary spread, the page count is a smooth 24. During the course of my three to fouryears at Southeastern, my car has broken down a total of four times, more if you count faulty tires. I’ve also had numerous family and personal emergencies, including but not limited to cancer scares and painful sores in difficult places. In other words, it’s been a gigantic disaster.
