Designs For Different Futures
Exhibition Graphics & Marketing Collateral
2019
Designs for Different Futures is an exhibition that explores potential futures through the interplay of design, art, science, and technology, organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Walker Art Center and the Art Institute of Chicago.  

The exhibition was organized by theme. To help visitors navigate the dense and sometimes intimidating exhibition, a continuous “ticker” displaying the theme names ran along the perimeter of the show with an accompanying printed map.

As they exit the gallery, visitors were encouraged to wind-down, relax, and reflect in the Futures Therapy Lab, an interactive gallery stocked with literature and activities for all ages.
