Exhibitions Graphics Manager
The High Museum of Art
Atlanta, GA
Created exhibition graphics for two locations.
Managed annual & exhibit budgets, ordered vendors for fabrications based on my designs for building banners, signage, way-finding, kiosks, photo murals, text panels, title walls & dry transfers for object labels.
Working closely with curators, education, development, membership & directors to create accessible information
for all ages of the public.
Designed new technology systems for graphics production, as the current system used typesetters: expensive & proofing was continuous. I custom made an ergonomic work station, allowing all graphics to be produced starting from the disk of a curator. Color coded proofs were sent to four departments, then final approval from exhibitions manager. Files were sent by modem to transfer vendor. Savings for the department up to 80% of previous annual budget.
Used digital camera to photograph gallery walls, allowing manipulation in Photoshop to create Presentations for director, team & curators. A hard copy with graphics on walls & future artwork in place, then color proof swatches approved. Order started.
Honored to present designs to & work closely with J. Carter Brown, curator of the Olympic Exhibition Rings: Five Passion in World Art.
Traveled to & studied the National Gallery’s system in preparation.
While in college, I first worked with the new High Museum, before the opening. Following plans for transfer system designed by architect; creating non-interuptive text on actual walls with use of transfers.
