I developed visual identity and associated design materials for Promoting the President, an exhibition at Hudson River Museum, on view February 7 through May 17, 2015. The exhibition explored images of George Washington organized around four themes: Hero-General, Portraits, Memorials and Mementos, and Man or Myth. I coordinated with Linda Locke, Publication Director, throughout the project.

Scope of Work

  • Development of the exhibition's visual identity.
  • Design of environmental graphics, including introductory panel and quote lettering.
  • Design of exhibition invitation.
  • Design of transit advertisement for MTA Metro-North.
  • Design of visual email campaign.
  • Design of weekly newspaper advertisements.
  • 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.

Introductory Panel

A large introductory text panel was designed to be mounted at the entrance of the exhibition.
