Museum Branding - Studio brief: 02

Studio brief: 02


Gallery / museum branding - 06 - Design and produce a branding and identity for a museum or gallery. Considering how it would work in context.

This brief will give the opportunity to express everything previously learnt about museum branding, why it works, what it should look like, why its effective, what it needs and all the primary research that has been collected over the years.

The first challenge is to select a location for the rebrand, this needs to be a large popular international museum that will need a full scope rebrand and including many different aspects - printed and digital outcomes. It would not be effective for example to rebrand the Tate as this is already a successful and world class brand.

An obvious choice for me at this point is the Museu Berardo in Lisbon, Portugal. As a current tourist hot spot the city of Lisbon has been called the 'new Berlin' and the museum has been named the most popular in the whole of Portugal.


- The current branding- as shown above the design is relevant and eye-catching yet is extremely boring and desperately needs a rebrand.

The standard red colouring is clear and a common colour associated with art.

- The logo type showing the large looped B is very limited and doesn't show clearly that this is a large international museum.



One of the first things to do with this kind of project is begin listing all the areas that will need to be included in the rebrand.

- Printed leaflets

- Printed museum catalogue

- Website

- App for use in the museum

- Flags

- Signage

- Way-finding

- Tote bags,

- Stationary

- Photo & art books

- On screen animations

- Poster campaigns

- T shirts

- Large scale graphics.

- Vignal stickers
- Badges

- Maps & Building graphics

This is an extensive list of different outcomes that will need to be considered and all have a consistent graphic identity.

Henry Moore Further Developments









After the initial developments it moved into the next steps, refining the imagery and how it would read. Each image has a minimum size that would really dictate the overall layout. With the central image being as large as it could possibly be within that space.





This poster shows how the final poster looked, the composition has been tweaked to unsure maximum readability and showing the images as best as possible.

As this project only required a singular outcome the development and experimentation is considerably low.

The white version has been preferred over the black as the impacting images are slightly taken away from and their clarity and effectiveness.

Henry Moore Poster - First Developments






These five images show various approaches to layout that gave been explored.

- Showing a large range of layout ideas and styles, the multi image poster to the left allows a larger overview of the different works that will be displayed in the exhibition.

The imagery is key and image selection is fundamental to this.

-Each image has been selected for its dynamism, impacting and interesting imagery.

The choice of use of MODERN 216 typeface reflects the curved features of Henry Moore sculptures.

The 40 Years 1977-2017 has been selected as the main feature in the copy as it celebrates best the heritage of the foundations being 40 years old.

Henry Moore Poster - Research - Previous Posters








































Three Henry Moore posters that stand out in the research, each show a clear connection with the artists imagery as well as expressive and inventive use of type.

The bold use of colour is also evident, giving a striking and eye-catching impact on the overall communication.

These three posters acted as inspiration for the overall project.


Henry Moore Poster Brief.

The Henry Moore -

The project short deadline and simple outcomes is ideal for a first brief, this will allow exploration into Henry Moore as well as giving an opportunity to express skills in photo selection, use of type and photo layout. As well as the ability to follow brand guidelines.

The brief is simple to design a B0 poster using the following copy -

Imagery
The poster design can be a purely typographic treatment, or can
utilise an image from the selection for Becoming Henry Moore. We
have fairly strict guidelines for the use of Henry Moore Foundation
images and would like students to work within these restrictions.
Severe cropping of all or any part of the image, changing the
colour of all or any part of the material, cut outs and overlaying
artworks with text are not permitted.

Low res images can be accessed here: http://henry-moore.photos:8085/becoming_henry_moore/#/
Please note these are © Henry Moore Foundation and not to be published without permission
All designs that use an image must include somewhere on the poster the credit line:
Reproduced by permission of the Henry Moore Foundation
For high res images, captions and brand guidelines to inform your submission, please contact the Henry Moore

Foundation direct – email Alice Miller who is the Marketing Co-ordinator at the Institute: alice.miller@henry-
moore.org

Branding
The Henry Moore Foundation logo is designed to emulate the curves of Moore’s sculpture – the full brand guidelines
are available on request.
There are four different core colours of the Foundation logo, and these come in a range of opacities. The colours
have been chosen to reflect the different materials in Moore’s work: Stone, Bronze, Verdigris and Elmwood orange.
White-out and black versions are also available. For this poster design there is no fixed colour palette, the logo
colour can be changed to suit the design. If using a colour that is not from our core palette the text inside must be
either black or white.
There are four different orientation versions of the logo which bleed off each corner of the page. The logo artwork
is supplied with crop marks to enable the logo to bleed off the page. Once the logo is in the correct position,
ensure the crop marks are removed so they do not appear in the final artwork.
Please contact Alice Miller as detailed above to obtain logo(s) and ask any questions.

The winning artwork will be displayed as a B0 sized poster on the Street Sites poster drums across Leeds. The
artwork specifications for a B0 (60"x40" / 1524mm x 1016mm) poster are as follows;
