Part of the Smithsonian Institution—the world’s largest museum, education, and research complex—the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and Renwick Gallery are three distinct museums located in Washington, D.C. Each celebrates American art and culture through diverse exhibitions, from historical portraiture to contemporary craft and design.
SCOPE OF WORK
Packaging Design
Tasked with designing each museum’s store shopping bags using photographs of their iconic architecture, I needed to find a creative workaround since the images couldn’t be printed as-is on plastic. I transformed each photo into a high-contrast, two-tone graphic that retained the building’s recognizable details while meeting the technical requirements of silkscreen printing.
