The Emerge exhibition at Loyla Marymount was an incredible experience. It was great to see the design work created by undergrad and grad students under one roof! It was helpful to see what other schools' approaches ans influences are. Usually student artwork is not considered seriously enough, however, this show exhibited many extremely creative solutions and rendered very professionally at the same time. My favorite pieces were “aMoire” by Whitney Wolfe (LMU) and “Typographic Landscape of Cultural Identity” by Andrea Mendez (Woodbury). The exhibition hall was so crowded! It was good and bad; good because it attracted many people’s attention, and bad because it was impossible to take a closer look at the artwork.
