Introduction

The Sight of Sound is a collaborative temporary art installation by the Senior Graphic Design Class in Boston University’s College of Fine Arts.

Discover Phase

The name of our project is called Incarceration because together the songs touch on the themes of drug abuse and overcoming neighborhood violence.

Animation Process

Jimi and I worked collaboratively in the discovery phase but then in the diverge phase we split off to work on our animation videos independently.

Zine Process

For the Zine, we created a folded 24 page book with our Riso contact sheets as the back pages. The content of the book included information on the topic of incarceration and a National Mental Health Hotline and Substance Abuse Hotline. We played with different stroke patterns that reminded us of the locked cycle of imprisonment. Jimi and I passed InDesign files back and forth to make sure we collaborated equally on the Zine.

Deliver Phase

Our Graphic Design Studio class was split into different sub committees such as exhibition layout, signage, promotion, and construction. I was on the signage committee which was tasked to use the vinyl

Show and Conclusion

Overall, I loved how vibrant and colorful our exhibition turned out and it was so fun to celebrate with my classmates, professor, and friends. After hours of shedding blood, sweat, and tears in the Risograph printing room and studio it was definitely worth it, however it was a shame our exhibition was only up for a night.
