Plus design collaborated with the J. Paul Getty Center to produce this “object,” which acknowledges the end of Kurt Foster’s eight-year tenure as director and serves as a transitional brochure in anticipation of the center’s future Brentwood facilities.

This artifact synthesizes two forms of communication. The hand-lettering and computer-generated written information are juxtaposed with tangible, visual objects, which were collaged to represent the center: its ocean location, the rich resource of its archives, the diversity of its international scholars, and the contributions of the departing director.
