Listening to Transparency Exhibition of Sound Art

Xulei Li Exhibition of Sound Art Graphic

Listening to Transparency

Listening to Transparency is the visual identity for an exhibition of sound art that presented 44 audio and visual works. The design is based on circular waves that represent sound sources. The waves vary in angle, curvature and colour. The titles are silk-screen printed on transparent PVC in a graduated dot grid, while the waves are printed on cotton paper with Risograph technology. The two layers combine into one image, and turning the printed page reveals the waves. The transparent look reflects the materials used in the artworks and the fleeting nature of sound.

Listening to Transparency Exhibition of Sound Art by Xulei Li has been featured as a grand illustration of communication design by the A' Design Award. Listening to Transparency Exhibition of Sound Art received the Bronze A' Design Award in Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design in 2020. The A' Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design competition which recognizes superior design of logos, posters, infographics, brochures, packaging designs, business cards, book covers, billboards and more.
