RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The aim of this research is to come up with the design of the visual identity for the exhibition which will be transformed to key graphics linking all displayed works together through exhibition event promotional material, application, and media. The process started with the review of all works that will be displayed in the exhibition event. Then the assigned designers, creative team, came up with the theme of the exhibition covering all shared fundamental steps of the “design process” for the creation of final design works in the exhibition. For the design process using here, thousands and thousands of possible ideas were generated, then edited and revised down through a series of critique sessions which acted as a filter for the best, only one, final design work. This concept led to the theme of the exhibition and got transformed through the event’s identity, key visual, and promotional material including on and offline publications, identity system, poster designs, promotional virals, animated clips, typography designs, environmental graphic design for way finding system and stage design, along with the event's booklet, gift, and souvenir design.
CHALLENGE: The visual representation, identity, of the exhibition must cohesively project unique characteristics of various types of displayed design works. In addition, the exhibition’s visual identity should not only be flexible enough for designers to apply to the visual identity of all promotional material media and application, but also should visually communicate the theme of the exhibition to visitors from the non-design field.
