Has anyone ever realized their dream job by randomly stumbling upon it? Because I’m pretty sure that’s what just happened to me.
My constant source of everything relevant to design, swiss miss, just shared that the Department of Advertising and Graphic Design at The Museum of Modern Art updated their website. Now don’t get me wrong, the website is very clean and well done, but what really blew me away was the work itself. I mean, that’s the intention, right?
Anyway, I’m now furiously clicking through every single exhibit design they have created. It’s so amazing that even though they are designing the same spaces over and over, each exhibit maintains its own specific feel. Plus, they’re not just designing for the space within the museum, they also extend all of the identity through advertising each show around the city.
Needless to say, I am utterly green with envy right now. The funniest part is, I’d never really considered going in this direction of design. I created museum collateral for an el Lissitzky exhibit at the Spencer for Typography class, but now that I see what awesome stuff their department does, I definitely think this is a direction I could see myself going in.
I think this is one of my favorite aspects of Design, the fact that there is no limit to what kind of work is possible.
