SITES creates prospectus booklets for a new traveling exhibition under development. For this particular exhibit, we were tasked to pare down the design so that the landscape photography and nature photos could be the star, but also create elements that related to the sensibility of the exhibit, covering science, indigenous cultures, and natural history.

Approach
Large photographs and the orientation of the booklet complements the use of the landscape photographs. Accent illustrations provided a rustic yet intentional use of motifs that were inspired by the objects in the exhibition. A bold yet organic color palette complements the artistic sensibilities of the photographs while staying connected to the themes of nature, science, and culture.
