Overview
The town of Mount Pleasant, SC, was in the process of constructing a new town hall, and HW Exhibits, my employer, was selected to conceptualize and design the lobby displays for this innovative space. I used the floor plan, elevations, and interior finishes as inspiration, ensuring the display harmonized with the space’s vision.

BRANDING
I kept the design for this exhibit neutral and contemporary to complement the Town Hall’s architecture and interior finishes. Wood grains, watery blues, timeless fonts, and pops of silver were elements I selected for the brand.
PANEL DESIGN
The panels tell the story of "our town, our journey, our service, and our heart." Sconce boxes add a soft ambiance and anchor the design, while layered panels and a silver timeline add visual interest.
MAP WALL
This wall features a wooden map of Mount Pleasant, SC. I designed the map and icons to highlight features of the Town, and added 3D-lettering to complete the wall.

MOMENTS WALL
I created icons, or "moments," that represent the Town of Mount Pleasant. The icons were printed on wood that matched the interior doors.
