More info —
Working with Prestegård Design and the Maritime Museum of Bergen, I created the identity, catalogue, and exhibition elements for a new exhibition about the life of queer sailors.
The Logo —
Inspired by the 1970s (the era the exhibition is focussed around), each letter of this logo was carefully formed specifically for this exhibition. The typography is largely focussed around the theme of opportunity that is seen within the display.
The Colour Palette —
Again inspired by the 1970s, we wanted to create a colour palette that payed homage to the queer community without relying exclusively on the LGBTQIA+ flag. Instead I focussed on the meanings behind each of the colours, yellow for sunshine, orange for health, red for life, pink for sexuality, and an added blue colour to represent the ocean.
