Xhibiton Y

Xhibiton Y was a collaborative project between three design students that became the identity of our B.F.A. graphic design portfolio show. Xhibition Y’s design uses typographic form to establish a grid for content to hang on, which plays on the idea of the x and y-axis. It also refers to generation Y or millennials, of which all of the students were a part of. X and Y act as an interactive field for text, such as “x-press yourself” and “x-cited to see you”. It went through many stages and concept ideas on where to take the show like “x” marks the spot, maze, obstacle course, the unknown, maps, calendar and XOXO.
