VINYL AFFIRMATIONS
February 2024 | Installation
As a part of my graphic design course during the spring semester of my junior year, the class was split up into small groups in which we were prompted to create 4 projects throughout the course of the semester- all to be created behind the scenes of our other, larger, projects.
These 4 small projects were given to us with the intent to help our class learn to use some of the interesting tools we have access to at BU’s graphic design studio. Every 3 weeks or so, we were tasked to use one of the 4 machines- Risograph, Vinyl Cutter, Laser Cutter, or Projector- to create a deliverable relating to a broad prompt.
The prompt my group received for our vinyl cutter week was to create something that we think “everyone should know”. I had the idea to create stickers to be placed onto mirrors with affirmations for students to see throughout campus. We thought it would be cute to use little animals we drew and associate a silly animal pun with it. The stickers shown here are the animals I designed!
We included a hashtag to hopefully enable social engagement, and we received a ton of positive feedback from our peers and other students across campus!
