Graphic design for art institutions

February 4, 2009

One of the things I am really enjoying is the top-notch graphic design employed by so many art organizations in the UK—it’s not an afterthought, even among governmental organizations!

Loving:

The Tate logo

The Bluecoat’s printed ephemera

This isn’t graphic design, but it’s still brilliant exhibit design.

Video holograms projected into dioramas tell historic scientists' stories from the first person. Brilliant!
