EXHIBITION IDENTITY (early concepts)
Short design task for a graphic designer interview
Client: ACCA (speculative)
Deliverables: magazine advert, airlock vinyl, & Instagram MP4
— Year: 2026
DESCRIPTION
Rapid responses for a speculative identity direction, produced in response to a short-form interview brief for ACCA’s emerging artists exhibition.
Taking place before artists were selected, the identity was built around the question of what “new” means in 2026, particularly in the context of contemporary art—unstable, contested, and still unfolding. The identity resists linear narratives, moving through tension rather than beyond it. There is a reference to the handmade as resistance, and holding hope alongside difficulty.
