This catalogue was designed for the El Paso Museum of Art exhibition, “We’re Through Being Cool: A Look at the Design of American New Wave.” Gathering various elements from the New Wave style, the catalogue was inspired by the movement with a modern approach. The exhibit will be open throughout the month of April 2014. New Wave design was the birth of electronic design, and experimental design. The title of the exhibit was taken from a song by the new wave band, Devo.
