OVERVIEW

Raw Essece?

What is it?

SYSTEM APPLICATION

The wordmark itself embodies the exhibition's core concept.

TAKEAWAY

This project challenged me to create an exhibition identity where the visual system and physical environment work together to communicate the concept, allowing visitors to interact with a direct material experience. The biggest breakthrough was intentionally making the "unfinished" aesthetic yet complete.
