I developed visual identity and associated design materials for Federico Uribe: Animals and Friends In Pencils, Books and Bullets, an exhibition at Adelson Galleries, on view May 2 through June 11, 2016. The exhibition presented works by Federico Uribe constructed from everyday objects including colored pencils, books, and bullets.

Scope of Work

  • Development of the exhibition's visual identity.
  • Design of environmental graphics, including wall title lettering.
  • Design of exhibition invitation.
  • Design of weekly print advertisement campaign for The New York Times.
  • Design of exhibition catalogue (print and digital).
  • Development and maintenance of exhibition web presence.
  • Image preparation for print and digital use.

Visual Identity

A visual identity was developed for the exhibition and applied consistently across all associated materials. This established the typographic language, layout structure, and graphic approach used throughout the deliverables produced.

Environment

These materials were designed for installation in the physical space of the exhibition. In all cases I coordinated with the producer to ensure quality and accuracy.

Title Lettering

The exhibition title was produced as vinyl adhesive lettering and applied directly to the gallery wall.
