Exhibit Catalogue, Proposed
Clip/Stamp/Fold inventories 70 radical
architectural zines from the 1960-1970s.
Originally a travelling exhibit, I wanted to
design a promotional catalogue that could
be purchased by attendees. In the spirit
of the short lived "little magazines" and
recreate the experience for those either
had the chance to see the show, or who
didn't. Perfect bound, with french fold
pages, and an intricate category system,
readers are encourage to tear open
each page to read about each of the 70
little magazines featured in the show.

I came up with if I had the chance to design
their newsletter. I developed a simple grid
template for a saddle stitched booklet,
fliers, and posters that could be easily
adaptable to various shows and maintain a
consistent identity for the Henry Art Gallery.
