ROC K ‘ N ’ RO LL H A LL O F FA M E + MUSEUM A re-branding project for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. With rock and roll being a wild and provocative subject matter, I took a bolder and more colorful approach to their rebrand compared to what they currently have. With vibrant colors and captivating imagery, I tried to highlight the diverse and wild history of the rock ‘n’ roll genre. This new brand identity includes a new typographic logo, colors, merchandise, promotional items, along with a new, fresh brand book.

W H AT WO U LD A N DY TH I N K? The Newberry Library holds a series of discussions (“21st Century: What Would They Think?”) centered around prolific people in history and how they would view the 21st Century. The project includes the branding and promotional items of the series with the focus on Andy Warhol. The core of the discussion would focus on Warhol’s art and his ideas in relation to contemporary culture of the 21st century. This design concept is a “21st century” interpretation of his work, inspired by his screenprints from the 1970s.
