This exhibit was designed and completed while employed at Reich&Petch. The CMC Dinosaur Hall is a new gallery inside the Cincinnati’s historical Union Terminal Train station. CMC had gone through a 2.5 year long renovation to incorporate a Natural History & Science gallery/collection on the mezzanine level of the building. The gallery displays 4 platforms displaying specimens from the Jurassic and Cretaceous period. The marquee specimen of the exhibit is a complete skeleton of a Torvosaurus Tanneri; the only complete specimen of its kind in the world.
The museum had existing internal exhibit designers and enlisted Reich&Petch as graphic design consultants to handle all of the exhibit’s environmental graphics.
Under the tutelage of the Reich&Petch principals and senior exhibit designers, I helped with the design development of environmental graphics within the exhibit. Responsibilities included designing graphic elements, diagrams, script flow, signage, illustrative/image procurement, and graphic production.
