Exhibition graphics: Sightlines

Spanning the history of photography, Sightlines at SFMOMA featured a diverse array of artists conveying a variety of themes and processes in their works which ranged from 19th-century photography and early studio portraiture to contemporary and cameraless photography.

Keywords such as line-work, connectivity, and elongation all came to mind when studying the photos in this collection, inspiring me to integrate line extensions into the visual identity shown here.

Process

Pictured here are early iterations in which I explored how lines, curved or straight, could add, connect, or extend in interesting ways to underscore the significance of lines in this exhibition.
