Baseball: America's Home Run

Case Study

Project: Museum Giftbox

Software: InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop

This project is a gift shop box designed for The Smithsonian National Postal Museum's exhibition, America: Baseball's Home Run. The box includes a primary catalog, newspaper, and a set of baseball cards with a donor card edition. I created the piece based on material from the exhibition and supplementary articles online. It is based on the branding of the exhibition.

This was a multiple-piece project. I first created the catalog, which is filled with multiple articles from the exhibition. Each chapter page has a baseball pinstripe background and is numbered with a modular number that was hand drawn and made digitally using Illustrator. I used Rockwell and Times as my type pairings, which I carried throughout the entire project. The newspaper was created using In-Design and then printed on a newsprint. The player cards with special addition donor cards were designed to highlight the players and museum with stats and donation information.
