Mike Duffy Talk

Illustration : Mike Duffy
Mike Duffy was in-residence for 2 days during the installation of the Another Voice exhibit. Check out the Exhibition section of the site to see his giant heads with TV screen in their mouths. His stencil art was also used to create the surface designs for the Another Voice Reading Area. For Mike’s poster I took cues from his bold art and opinions on politics.

Layer Cake

Art Direction and Design: Whitney Sherman
This show was named as such because it was in 2 separate gallery spaces stacked on top of each other. Delicious!

Señor Show

Art Direction and Design: Whitney Sherman
This poster rifts off the ubiquitous HELLO nametags that crop up where even folks feel the need to get on a first name basis. It also plays with the misunderstood sound of it being the show for our seniors, or what we call the Senior Show. I guess it could have also been an AARP membership card!

This poster for my lecture at Delaware College of Art and Design toys with the idea that some things are generated from outside the studio and others happen all by themselves inside the studio. The poster is designed to hang right side up and upside down. It is filled with handlettering which I enjoy doing immensely.
