This is a compilation of photos showing some of the preparation for my gradshow exhibition. I apologize for the blurriness of some of the photos; the gallery space was a little dark. 

It was a fantastic night and if anyone that chatted with me is reading this, thanks for coming!

Originally, I was going to make stickers to hand out, but I decided to make buttons instead. It was cheaper making these than it would have been to make stickers and I like that these aren't single use. I designed them to fit the style of my business cards, using the same characters, plain linework, similar colors, and a clean look.  I bought the materials online and borrowed the button maker from my school's store.

I was originally going to buy a standee of one of my characters from a store, but ended up making my own out of Foam Core since it was so expensive to get it done elsewhere. I took the image from a frame of one of my animations, vectored it in Illustrator, fixed it up a little bit and got it printed on the school's large format printer.

I also had prints of some character and prop turnarounds for the space. For the buttons, I found a neat, star-shaped glass bowl at the dollar store to put them in. 

Thanks again to anyone that came to the show! I'm excited to get out into the real world and see where my work takes me.
