The Newark Museum - Exhibition Designs for Planetarium
"Saturn: Exploring a Celestial Wonder" is an educational exhibition inside of the planetarium gallery of the Newark Museum that I designed and art directed along with the Directors of the Science and Education Departments, and with one of the Creative Directors within the Exhibitions department of the museum. It was an incredible learning experience and deep dive into studies of how a viewer sees content, processes information and ultimately understands concepts. Research into how design could guide the viewer both physically through the gallery and intellectually through the large amounts of information, and exercises into how information could be variably presented to different age groups / reading levels. Below are the final illustrator files and photography of the space completed after an intensive 6 months of research & development, content strategy / organization, user / viewer research and modeling (height, ages, differentiated cognitive understanding of information research), and of course creative strategy, design and visual storytelling that tied it all together. Further details are included in the captions below.
