Project using 10 items selected from a classmate to describe who they are. As a design student, my classmate chose to highlight some of the objects he uses the most on a day to day basis. Using these objects, I chose to highlight how each object, although they seem common and ordinary to most people, is actually important or significant in his daily life.

This exhibit is designed to reflect ourselves. I chose to exhibit my passion for the city of Boston and explain through graphics and objects my experiences and connections to the city. The floor features a graphic map of the Boston subway system or "The T" and uses the train routes as a general guide for the layout of the space.

This exhibit focused on gender differences. I chose to highlight the differences in a male's income compared to a woman's.While in most industries the man has the higher income, I chose to focus on the music industry in which females typically have a higher average income than the males in the industry. The exhibit was to be featured in a small window display at the university library. The design uses graphics associated with the music industry as a human scale graph to show how much each musical artist makes a year. The display's text describes the controversy in a concise and clear manner to keep the visitor's interest while the graphics and suspended images provide a visual depiction of the controversy.
