Exhibit Design - Science Center

I designed the pieces for the Saint Louis Science Center exhibit "Dream it. Build it." This exhibit will be up for the foreseeable future and is located in the Current Curiosities gallery. (I also designed the main sign for Current Curiosities which you can find in my profile).

Dream it. Build it. is an exhibit that features KEVA blocks, which help inspire children and adults to get their hand into architecture and the difficulties that come with leverage, weight distribution and other building challenges.

I designed the exhibit pieces top to bottom: logo, color palette, typefaces, patterns, textures, image treatment, and other design elements. The color palette started with the challenge of the odd "beguiling mauve" that was already painted on the wall. I made a palette that brought some vibrancy to the space and made the plain wood block exhibit more exciting and inviting for children and adults. I chose a typeface that was fun but also blocky, to represent the building blocks and still relate to the playfulness of children.
