Client: American Museum of Natural History
I worked with my team to develop the graphic style of the 2020 temporary show at the American Museum of Natural History. I helped a lot with the typography and imagery style, including introducing vintage ink illustrations alongside photographs. I did the designs for the White Room, the Science of Color, and the Red Room, Color and Culture.
