DESIGN FOR CLARITY

My role as Junior Graphic Designer allowed me to contribute to this expansive project and I aided in the design the brochure and object captions. With over 200 objects on display, the captions went through many iterations along with onsite visits which allowed for a true hands on experience where I could see the full process from screen to print.
