It’s always exciting to see the innovative work coming out of instructor Shirin Raban’s online Design History and Context course. Enjoy the gallery of final projects below!

The instructions were:

Design an innovative invitation card for the gallery opening of a contemporary visual creative individual or group in a field such as graphic design, lettering, illustration, architecture, etc. that inspires you and has a consistent, innovative body of work.

Your design must reflect the conceptual thinking and design style of this individual or group. The invitation can take on any format or use any media that deems appropriate to this prompt.

Some examples include Marian Bantjes, Oded Ezer, Eddie Opara, Stephan Sagmeister, Chip Kidd, Erik Spiekerman, Shirin Neshat, or any other example that inspires you.

Think globally!
