The Dark Crystal: Masterpiece of Puppetry

In 2021, Center for Puppetry Arts released a new special exhibit featuring puppets, props, and artifacts from the Netflix production The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. The focus of the exhibit was to highlight the enhancements in puppetry and the mechanics of performance that have emerged since the making of the original film.

I was tasked with designing the overall graphic appearance of the exhibit, including gallery placards, signage and large-scale wall graphics. I created five text panel styles that used related production art as a way to differentiate the different sections of the exhibit and also as a way to maintain a sense of atmosphere and create a more immersive experience.
