THEESSENCE OF TYPO-GRAPHY.The Essence of Typography is a new exhibition at the Design Museum in London hosting work from some of the most influential typographers and typefaces. The exhibition shows the development of type from early typographers, type design, to contemporary digital type and how its used in design today. In terms of the product, range and distribution I have designed A2 prints, a book, postcards, an A2 fold out and a website as my products. The range is the variety of these individual products, for example the different designs for the postcards. The distribution is the context in which these will be placed. For example the book will be sold in the gift shop of the museum alongside the postcards and A2 prints. The exhibition will have a promotional typeface which will change throughout the time that the exhibition is on, this will bring emphasis to a typeface and with it promotional material. This promotional typeface will also coincide with talks & Events at the exhibition bringing in working professionals who have been heavily influenced by that typeface in their own practice and design work. The Essence of Typography exhibition is targeted at Graphic Designers, printers, typographers, students studying in design and anyone with an interest in typography.

The Book will be sold at the gift shop and online, the contents is very general covering a range of typefaces. This would be sold alongside a range of other books which would cover these individual typeface in more detail with a more in depth look at the history of that particular typeface, how influential it has been and how to use the typeface in design.

To the right I have advertised the ‘Essence of Type Exhibition’ as it would look if it was on the site for the design museum.

The website will be created separetly and in partnership with the design museum Thus meaning there will be two online resources for the exhibition. The websites will host all things relevant to the exhibition from the talks and events, the work thats being exhibited, typographers, ticket sale to the exhibition and an online resource for the gift shop.

I have also created an E-flyer to promote the event, This will be advertised on design and typography blogs as well as font shops (as shown above) so my direct target audience become aware of the exhibition.

I will propose that all signage will keep in theme with the other designs. The signage would direct and help visitors navigate through the exhibition.

Other future proposals to do with the exhibition would be the layout of the exhibitions itself and what rooms there would be, what they would exhibit and the props around the exhibition.
