Activating the Vignelli Archive is now live to the public, showing graduate student work that was on display during Imagine RIT with added detail and descriptions.
Under Professor Josh Owen’s direction each graduate student was assigned a Vignelli-designed artifact and evidence of its developmental process from the Vignelli Archive on campus. Each student researched their designated context in which their item was generated, developing a clear metric for assessing the item’s success in its original context. Students were then responsible for using the same metric for developing a new object, adjusted in order to accommodate today’s landscape of conditions and habits.
