The L3R makes a return in-person
At the end of every semester, the Level 3 students in the BFA Graphic Design program at the California College of the Arts prepare to present their work for the Level 3 Review. Ever since the the Covid-19 pandemic interrupted in-person learning, this was the first time that the L3R Exhibition was held in-person on campus at the PLAySPACE Gallery.
We designed a memorable experience for the Spring 2023 Exhibition that celebrates the students' hard work becoming "realized".
Concept: 3 as symbol
As the junior review for BFA Graphic Design is called the Level 3 Review, the number "3" became a symbol of three-dimensionality to represent to idea of becoming real. To express the concept of "realized", this meant focusing on making things bigger through physicality, materiality, and dimensionality.
Showcasing the Level 3 students, their work was seen on a 14-foot-wide giant “3” installation using bright yellow vinyl hanging across 3 surfaces. Not only that, repetition of the "3" was seen across the CCA campus and the exhibition through a series of transparent posters and various vinyl stickers.
