Weir Farm National Historic Site
I developed the graphic design for exhibits at Weir Farm National Historic Site in Connecticut. The exhibits are spread throughout different buildings on the farm and interpret multiple artists who lived and worked there. The client wanted to include as much color and texture as possible in the graphics. The wealth of artwork in the park's collections meant that we had so many resources we could play with in order to do so!
This project was done as part of the EDX Exhibits design team. The exhibits are currently being fabricated.
The exhibits included artwork and bright colors wherever possible.
Introductory panels got the star treatment, showcasing bright landscape paintings and blowing them up to be larger-than-life.
Smaller panels used close crops of paintings as textural elements and to highlight calls to action within the text.
Outside of the main visitor center building, panels were streamlined to better fit in with historic home surroundings. Some were designed to include speakers that, when activated by a visitor, played music or dialog.
