Smart Evolution
Museum Exhibition
This project is for a theoretical exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Arts in Savannah, Georgia. Through research, conceptual ideation and design development, I created a successful and visually cohesive exhibit. The exhibition highlights the future possibilities of three-dimensional (3D) printing in fashion. It will showcase several artists’ designs, how 3D printing works, and educate guests on the value of 3D printing.
I developed a visual identity, environmental graphics, narrative literature and packaging. The designs are inspired by the layers and adorning intricacies that are created with 3D printed products. Fashion and technology are always changing and advancing. I aim to create a sophisticated and dynamic experience that reflects the smart - intellectual and fashionable - future that 3D printing fashion can bring.
Smart Evolution
Fashion Forward with 3D Printing
The evolution of fashion with three-dimensional (3D) printing will transform the fashion industry and the way consumers interact with fashion as we know it. This advancement will enable sustainable freedom by using recyclable plastic filaments and requires no excess materials or waste. Alternative methods will also open the possibilities to create intricate adornments and unique designs with individuality in mind. Consumers will have the option to make purchases at the retail store for on-demand creations or print head-to-toe outfits in their home printer. 3D printed fashion will become a stylishly smart way of self-expression and lead the way to a technologically smart future.
The Posters
Clean and simple yet intricate and eye-catching. I wanted to highlight the details and beautiful design possibilities through the posters that advertise the art exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art. A little sneak peak of what guests will see at the exhibition.
The Environment
The walls are adorned with a 3D design of the letter forms that make up “Smart Evolution: Fashion Forward with 3D Printing” both in the serif (Didot) and san serif (Roboto) typeface used for the logo. The shapes are designed to mimic a lace pattern and reflect the details that can be created with 3D printed fashion. There are endless and unique design opportunities that can be unlocked with this technology; which I aim to demonstrate throughout the exhibition.
The Promotional Book
3D printing is a layered process. I was inspired by that process and created a vertical accordion style promotional book, intended to be sold at the gift shop. This book is one of several in a series highlighting different fashion designers who have used and continue to use 3D printing in their collections. This book honors Danit Peleg and some of her designs. She was the first to print an entire collection with 3D printers at home, as part of her final project during her senior year in college.
The Jewelry Box
As part of the exhibition, guests may design and purchase 3D printed jewelry. Their jewelry will be placed in this sliding drawer jewelry box with a hot pink tongue for pulling out ease. The top is clear but decorated with the letterform lace.
