Splendors of China’s Forbidden City:
The Glorious Reign of Emperor Qianlong

Identity and graphics for The Field Museum

​

An 11,000 square foot exhibition about the reign of Qianlong, the last of the great Chinese emperors, featuring many objects never seen outside the Forbidden City in Beijing.

​

I was responsible for all graphics throughout the exhibit: labels, large overhanging text panels, and illustrations.

​

I designed the identity mark to have the look of the Chinese chop (a signature stamp), a style which was continued throughout the exhibit as a headline treatment.
