The Museum of Modern Art, 3.09
As intern in the creative dept. at MoMA, I was selected to design the identity for the student-curated exhibition titled "The Way I See It." Components included exhibition identity, postcards and wall text. The Museum Studies program is a unique partnership between MoMA and the New York City public school system, allowing high school students to both submit artwork for the show and apply to be within a class of student-curators. "The Way I see It" identity is my interpretation of the student's ideas for the show.
