client: Public Art Fund
role: Exhibition Graphic Design, Signage, Website Design
notes: Rob Pruitt's chrome sculpture of Andy Warhol in New York's Union Square--just steps from Warhol's famed Factory--is a tribute
to the city's ultimate downtown art star. For Office Use Only's exhibition graphic identity seeked to capture the energy, vibrancy, as well
as a bit of the messiness of Warhol's New York. The project included the design of on-site signage, street banners, print advertisements,
poster invitations, and exhibition microsite. Site development by our friends at Vector Media Group.
