I developed visual identity and associated design materials for Jacob Collins, a solo exhibition at Adelson Galleries, on view April 28 through May 30, 2015. The exhibition presented Collins' landscapes, still lifes, and portraits.

Scope of Work

  • Development of the exhibition's visual identity.
  • Design of exhibition brochure and invitation.
  • Design of full-page advertisement for Art & Antiques magazine.
  • 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.

Brochure

A three-panel brochure was designed presenting works from the exhibition, functioning as both a mailable invitation to the opening reception and a gallery takeaway. The piece was designed with a custom envelope for mailing. I ensured compliance with mailing standards and coordinated with the printer to maintain production quality.
