The designers wanted to create an environment that expressed the edge and energy of this rebellious form of contemporary communication. Using rock and roll’s tools —— sound, video, graphic imagery, and lighting effects —— the designers layered exhibition graphics in a typographic grid designed to accommodate a diverse range of text and images. Large “headlines” are overlapped by subtitles. Graphic imagery is set in striking assortments of color palettes against dark or neutral metallic backgrounds that accentuate their luminosity and evoke the spirit of a live performance.
