10 tri-fold pamphlets
fall 2023
this project, my senior thesis at mcad, was one where i was able to smush together all of my passions: design, writing, michael cera, autotune karaoke, sioux falls, and much much more. while pamphlets vary widely in topic, they all contain helpful information that i had already written or sought out specifically for this project.
the idea of pamphlets as a medium came to me when reflecting on doctor’s office waiting rooms. what are all these pamphlets about? does anyone pick these up? what if they were fun? what would draw someone in? could they be about anything? could we have a little fun???
i love the pamphlets ephemeral quality most. they’re designed to end up on the bottom of someone’s bag, crumpled up in the backseat of their car, and then resuscitated when they’re remembered in a bind. the economic element of them was another bonus as i wanted to be able to print as many as i realistically could.
the cherry on top was being able to give these pamphlets a temporary home within an exhibition setting. the waiting room was only up for ten days, but the visitors will always be marked down on the check-in sheet :)
