Invitation and program to the exclusive Gala Vernissage event.
I developed the identity for PRINCIPAL SFAI’s 2014 MFA exhibition and fundraising Gala Vernissage. The visual direction for the exhibit was based on the site specific nature of the Old Mint in downtown San Francisco where the event was held. In 1906 the vaults at the Old Mint held $300 million in gold reserves. The typeface itself and its usage in the context of the building insinuate currency symbols, such as € ¥ ¢ £ ฿. The design challenges the often difficult relationship contemporary artists have working within a consumerist culture.
