In December 2011 I was offered to work on the signage system for the Work-In-Progress Show at Camberwell College of Arts' MA Graphic Design students.
Considering the fact that the exhibition was specifically organized for them to display their work in progress I thought that it would be much more fair and relevant to create a flexible and random-like -but not cheesy- visual framework for the work to be exhibited as opposed to a graphical and sophisticated look for labeling work.
I came up with the idea to label each student's work by sticking a Post-It note next to it; an idea which I developed further to create an informal exhibition identity as well as the signage for the show.
The idea was inspired by watching the last-minute preparation of the BA Illustration students Work-In-Progress Show. During their exhibition set up, and, before they set their work on the walls, they had marked each one's space by posting Post-It notes. When the exhibition began, they had placed their work on the walls; removed the Post-Its and had replaced them with the white gallery-like labels showing student's name and project title in Helvetica Bold.
