BGSU BFA/MFA ART SHOW

Overall, it was amazing to see the talent that lies at one’s very own school they attend everyday. I see names of friends and fellow classmates on the walls next to all of the wonderful artwork and hope that one day mine will be exhibited like this and viewed in awe by others like me now. One of the first pieces that stood out to me was Erin Gortz’s Tetra Identity System and Website images as well as POP images. It was fascinating to see this project successfully finished, since I am working on similar projects this year as well as last. The website communicated very well with the identity system/stationary. This project showed great Graphic Design skills as well as Web design skills. Another piece that stood out to me was Brittany Laghlin’s Frieda’s Habanero Peppers. The cut out letters really caught my eye and was a simple yet successful way to render her idea for the packaging system. On a less my major-graphic design note, I found the Theory of Evolution of Love Animation by Lory Neil to be very interesting and entertaining to watch. On a Typography note, the “Whiplash” really captured a ”whiplash” feel with an almost art nouveau style, giving it elegance as well as energy. Ken Horn’s posters were also powerful and fascinating to view with the many thoughtful layers involved. The show was wonderful and I recommend everyone, art student or not, to really check it out while it is still here!
