Mammals

This was the major project from the final year of my degree course. I wrote the brief myself: the aim of the project was to design an exhibition for the Natural History Museum, looking at how mammals are adapted to survive in different habitats. The target audience is 11-14 year olds.

The concept for the exhibition was to present models and mammal specimens as the stars of the show. They would be displayed in dynamic poses to give a sense of life. The backgrounds are images of the relevant habitat in a posterized style, simplified so as to not detract from the mammals and also reminiscent of computer graphics.

Isometric Overview of the exhibition space, giving an indication of the style of graphics and placement of mammals. The pictograms are used within the exhibition to help orient the visitor as to which habitat they are in. The spectrum of colours reflects the changing climate, progressing from hot to cold as the visitors move from desert through to the oceans.
