I designed a weekly print advertisement campaign for The New York Times, produced for Andrew Wyeth: Seven Decades, an exhibition at Adelson Galleries, November 18 through December 20, 2014. The exhibition presented a survey of Andrew Wyeth's work across seven decades, drawing from private collections with many works never before exhibited publicly.

Scope of Work

  • Design of weekly print advertisement campaign for The New York Times.
  • Coordination with the publisher on placement and production specifications.
  • Image preparation for print use.

Advertisement Deliverables

A print advertisement campaign was designed for The New York Times, running weekly over the course of the exhibition with four distinct versions, each drawing on a different work from the show. An additional filler ad was also designed to accommodate extra placements as needed. I coordinated with the publisher on placement and production specifications to ensure quality.

The series shares a consistent typographic and layout language, establishing a recognizable identity for the campaign from week to week while allowing each version to feature its own work. Given the scope of the survey, the layout was kept consistent enough to unify the run while still giving each week's painting room to read clearly at newsprint scale.
