By Any Other Name is an exhibition that comprises seven Vancouver-based graphic designers, all graduates of Emily Carr who occupy an important role in shaping Vancouver’s visual culture. Each designer was assigned one of Vancouver’s alternate names as the basis of a poster design. The physical posters are on display in the Canada Lines’ Waterfront Station starting from October 2011.
The exhibition has been produced in partnership with the Emily Carr University Alumni Association as part of Creative Content, a series of exhibitions and events celebrating the significant contributions of Emily Carr graduates throughout Vancouver’s 125 year history. In addition to the posters at Waterfront Station, a companion exhibition is on view at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.
It has been conceived and curated by Working Format Design & Typography in collaboration with the Emily Carr Alumni Association.
