An exhibition created completely in-house at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. I designed and implemented the graphic system, illustrated icons, as well as researched and wrote all labels (179 in total). I also wrote and designed a booklet to accompany the show.
Creating an exhibition is a collaborative process, and my creative direction did not stop at graphics. I made suggestions for displays like this taxidermy arrangement.
Texture was added through the use of dimensional letters. Text was screen printed on the walls, and the edges of the object labels were painted to match the color palette of the exhibition.
A booklet was created to commemorate the exhibition and sell in the museum store. The graphic look and feel was carried over from the show.
A closing reception was held and invitations remained true to the brand. Recycled paper and kraft envelopes were used to further the sustainability message of the exhibition.
