I developed the visual identity and presentation and promotional materials for Mardi Gras Indians: Max Stern & Robert Freeman Exhibition, an exhibition at Adelson Galleries Boston.
As the primary designer for Adelson Galleries Boston throughout its operation, I worked within a consistent exhibition framework that all shows followed, structured to accommodate the physical space of the gallery and its presentation requirements.

Visual Identity
I designed the visual identity for the exhibition, which was carried consistently across the materials shown in this portfolio entry. This includes typography, layout structure, and graphic language.
Environment
Banner
- Exhibition banner design
The gallery includes a freestanding wall panel installed in front of its street-facing window. A large banner promoting the current exhibition is mounted on the exterior side of the panel, making the display clearly visible to passersby before they enter the space.
Title
- Exhibition title lettering design
The exhibition title lettering was designed for the gallery wall and produced as vinyl adhesive lettering. Example shown is colored for presentation only; in the exhibition, the adhesive lettering was produced in black and applied directly to the wall.
Postcard
- Exhibition promotional postcard design
A postcard was designed and printed for promotional mailings and as a takeaway card at the gallery. I ensured compliance with mailing standards and coordinated with the print house to maintain production quality.
