The University of Arizona School of Art's Graduate and Alumni Gallery presents "Intangible, Twenty Six Posters," by Jonny Black.

As an independent study, four design students from Minnesota State University, Mankato, created a concept-based poster series to explore unconventional means of design. We decided to challenge the notions of contemporary design practice, working collaboratively to solve the problem of visually depicting words without physical properties. 

Each of the 26 posters were created with three simple guidelines:

Word Selection – Each letter of the alphabet is represented by an intangible word

Analog vs. Digital – Both handmade and computer-created elements

Size – Each poster created at the A2 paper size (420 millimeter by 594 millimeter)

Gallery hours are by appointment. Contact the artist at jonny@email.arizona.edu or 651-494-7357. The Graduate and Alumni Gallery is located in the Visual Arts Graduate Research Lab on the northwest corner of Fremont Avenue and Mabel Street.
