I worked in Richmond Art Gallery for about three months. By doing online poster, purchasing goods and communicating with Vancouver artists, I have gained much unforgettable experience with the partnership. There were so many events I have participants in and prepared together with my colleagues, so I picked up several moments which impressed more than others, and used them to make this project.
As I did lots of online poster to invite audience paying attentions on activities, I made a decision to form a sign/poster for the Richmond Art Gallery, showing what kind of things I have done by myself through three months. Firstly, I used my favorite pattern which was usually seen on the Chinese blue and white porcelain, to design a perfectly round ring. It was surrounded by blooming indigo and dark blue flowers, the color of a ring was slightly different: one was painted with pure blue, another has additional blue and white patterns on its surface. They were represented as a form of perfectly round, because this shape reflected a feeling of happiness, appreciation and harmoniousness in traditional Chinese custom. I believe it will help me to give him best wishes
When I started adding words at the centre of my poster, I came up with a new idea to design a logo for RAG, it was more easily for me to upload photos inside the poster. Thus, I typed “RAG” the short name of that gallery. After manipulating the font and color, I selected two photos from my working time: artist’s talk of making of an archive project, and night party event. As I have made a full preparation of those two and worked well with my partners, there two photos recorded a sense of achievement, and also displayed the result to the viewers. I printed it out and load my logo with while photo frame so that my supervisor could kept it as a creative gift.
The combination of photos, shot name and designable rounds implied the experience of working in Richmond Art Gallery, showing my wonderful time to communicate, work and learn from more professional skills of artists.
