Terminal Show 2021
Identity Design
Visual Communication Show 2021
Royal College of Art, London
2021
The final showcase for the work produced by the students at the Visual Communication cohort of 2019-2021 culminated in the form a physical show titled as the Terminal which took place at Ugly Duck, 49 Tanner Street, London, SE1 3PL.
“TERMINAL is not where; it’s when. It unpacks the broader questions when brought on. When everything is unmoving, uncertain and unprecedented, how do we change, create, grow? When in isolation energy is a limited resource, what can we afford to create? When art is deemed non-essential, how can sacrifices and compromises inform new values in the work we take into the post-Covid world — what is essential?”
The identity explores the tension between the digital and physical, re-adapting itself based on the deliverable. Inspired by terminal in code and ASCII, it follows a grid and structure. However, this structure is malleable and is re-interpreted. Reflecting on the transient nature of the evolving practices of students who graduate in-between a world of fluctuating restrictions and independence.
As a participant, I had the opportunity to exhibit as well as contribute to the show as member of the Identity Team. It was a collaborative process of working with other team members and curators to develop a language that would represent “Terminal”. The ideation and research was a collaborative process and moving henceforth, I primarily worked on adapting the identity and deliverables for the digital formats.
