Getting Upper Exhibition Posters

Client: The Pasadena Museum of California Art

 

Twenty-six California designers were asked to contribute the design of one letter of the alphabet to be shown in an exhibit, and printed in a small run of silkscreen posters. Brett did a letter L inspired by printers marks and the simple geometric elements that combine to make a complex and circuit-board-like field. Scott made a letter P based on one he saw on a "OPEN" sign in a shop window.
