Typographics — It’s not Helvetica, and other facts about designing for the Whitney with Hilary Greenbaum

It’s not Helvetica, and other facts about designing for the Whitney

with Hilary Greenbaum

In 2013, the Whitney Museum of American Art launched its iconic redesign, and for the last four years, a small team of in-house designers has cultivated a robust brand using only a modest kit of parts. Through a variety of platforms, including exhibition design, signage, marketing, retail, digital media, and print, see how the identity system is constantly being challenged to meet the needs of an ambitious institution without losing its integrity.

This talk is scheduled for Friday, June 16, 2017, at 11:30am as part of the main Typographics conference schedule. You must register for the Typographics conference to attend.
