Amnesia Atomica Poster 


Project summary:
The 2022 Amnesia Atomica Exhibition, May 17-20 in Times Square, needed a poster to commemorate this public showcase's multi-year planning, focusing on a world without nuclear weapons. The poster is a brand launch for PATH Collective, so the colors will be from their brand guide. Other factors that need to be implemented in the poster are other contributors' names, artwork from the exhibition (such as Pedro Reye's Zero Nukes work and Rob Baker's POAP), the PATH logo, and a sense of forward thinking.





Animation


While this poster was designed for print, the bright colors and graphic appearance were too tempting not to animate and share in the digital space. This poster was a test in marrying multiple visual components to create a motion graphic that summarizes the feeling of the event.

Disclaimer: These animations are in progress and are shared to show the process. I am continuing to explore walking cycles and file complexity.

Project Requirements

 
Components, branding, and context

Digital artwork

Include PATH’s designed NFT, created by digital artist Rob Baker. The NFT token will be shared at the event.

Branding launch

This event will also serve as PATH Collective’s launch with its new branding.



Central pieces

Feature work of Pedro Reyes and the branding of the other exhibitors at the event.



PROTOTYPING

Initial Concept Sketches



Concept 1

This design focused on the location and how to use the composition to hide PATH's logo on the street. To add visual interest and to communicate the connection between the various elements, all the directional lines meet together at the center of the composition using one-point perspective.

Concept 2

Centered on the branded logo, pixelated elements of Times Square, along with the other featured artists’ work, will surround the PATH Collective mark.

Concept 3

NFTs and digital art inspired this design. Using the footprint, we can showcase art and repeat the squares into the distance to give the notion of "sharing" or going "viral.”






EXECUTION

Amnesia Atomica in Times Square, NYC


This piece was the commemorative poster for the Amnesia Atomica NYC 2022 Exhibition in Times Square. Curated by Pedro Azuelzo, this exhibition was made to showcase work that talks about how America has forgotten nuclear weapons as a public threat and how measures should be taken to reduce the number of nuclear weapons, specifically in the United States.
