Academy Museum of Motion Pictures: Stories of Cinema 1, 2, 3
Exhibition graphic systems for the permanent galleries at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
The exhibition graphics use a foundation of four key pillars: 1. Static, repeated texts creating a sense of motion; 2. A cinematic “countdown leader”; 3. An emphasis on the “Academy Ratio,” a standardized 4:3 ratio and projection format; 4. and letterboxed images and quotes presenting multiple voices. Referencing color test cards and technicolor palettes, dramatic, saturated colors punctuate the dark, cinema-like gallery spaces, creating memory moments and a reminder of the deep emotional connections that we all have to the cinema.
