Astrid Hubbe, further identity creating,
If I were to use an idea that used the three squares that were in her name, and also represented the bold, blockyness of her work, I considered some different palettes that have featured in her work. They came from her work and a display that was featured in one of her exhibitions;
How could these squares be applied? Do they work? Do they need a representation of her name/her name with them?

Astrid Hubbe, existing identity,
Astrid Hubbe has a website and has held exhibitions, however, she doesn't have a strong identity for herself,
