- Jon Imber: Carry On exhibition catalogue, cover spread
- Design by Alex Stevovich. Artwork by Jon Imber
I designed the exhibition catalogue for Jon Imber: Carry On, published by Danforth Art Museum in conjunction with the retrospective exhibition on view March 9 through May 18, 2014. The catalogue runs 44 pages and opens with an essay by Katherine French, Executive Director of Danforth Art, presented as an integrated text and image layout, followed by a complete plate section of works in the exhibition.
Scope of Work
- Visual identity development for the publication.
- Concept development and design direction.
- Layout design and typography across 44 pages.
- Image preparation for print and digital use.
- Digital edition adaptation for online display and distribution.
- Coordination with the printer through production.
Visual Identity
The visual identity for this catalogue was developed as part of the larger exhibition project. I was responsible for the complete design language of the exhibition — typographic system, color, graphic approach — and this extended fully into the catalogue, creating continuity across all materials produced for Jon Imber: Carry On.
Design Overview
The catalogue was designed to present Imber's retrospective work in a format balancing essay content with sustained plate presentation across 44 pages.
