Paula Scher 2019 SEGD Fellow
In early June, at the 2019 SEGD Conference Experience Austin, Paula Scher joined the list of SEGD Fellows alongside legendary experiential graphic design catalysts that include Jane Davis Doggett, Massimo Vignelli, Lance Wyman, Wayne Hunt, Robert Venturi, Sue Gould, David Gibson, Donald Meeker and Jan Lorenc. To say Paula Scher’s work is part of our visual culture is an understatement. She has made a career of cleverly combining art, culture and her singular approach to typography into influential identities, images and environments. Scher joined New York design consultancy Pentagram as a partner in 1991, as a successful art director. In the years since, she has developed identity and branding systems, promotional materials, environmental graphics, packaging and publication designs for a broad range of clients that includes some big names: Microsoft, Bloomberg, CocaCola, Shake Shack, Bausch + Lomb, Perry Ellis, The Public Theater, the Museum of Modern Art, the Sundance Institute, the High Line, the Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Ballet, the New York Philharmonic, the New York Botanical Garden, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. Scher has taught for over two decades at the School of Visual Arts, along with positions at Cooper Union, Yale University and her alma mater the Tyler School of Art, in addition to serving on the national boards of AIGA and AGI as president. She also served on the Public Design Commission of the City of New York from 2006 to 2015 and the board of directors of The Public Theater.

Scher has been the recipient of hundreds of honors and awards, including entry into the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame, the Chrysler Award for Innovation in Design, the AIGA Medal, the Type Directors Club Medal and the National Design Award for Communication Design, presented by the Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. She’s received honorary doctorates from Corcoran College of Art and Design, Maryland Institute College of Art and Moore College of Art and Design. Where does your energy come from? I’m never sick of designing. I’m not tired of it at all. I find people who complain about their clients, or the work, or say they just don’t want to do it anymore—I don’t feel like that. I have a great team; I love the people that work for me. What projects or assignments have most affected your professional development? I went through a bunch of different phases. I designed album covers for 10 years. In that capacity, I experimented a lot with typography on the covers themselves and sometimes on posters. My style, if you call it that, was deeply affected by doing the ‘Best of Jazz’ series at the end of the 1970s. It was constructed with typography—something I still fall back on. In the ’90s when I joined Pentagram, I began working on a multitude of identity projects, which led me into environmental graphics. Initially, the graphics were flat and applied to buildings. The New Jersey Performing Arts Center building with the typography covering the building is not that different from doing the ‘Best of Jazz’ posters, just in three dimensions. I then made the breakthrough discovery of my career in environmental graphics. As a graphic designer and dealing with clients, there would be all kinds of additions and subtractions and changes to a design right up until it went to press, because, ‘Oh, you can just do that on a computer.’ In that moment in time, all kinds of really terrific work can be compromised, depending upon how strong you hold your ground, which I’ve gotten very good at. But, the fact of the matter is—and so many designers will tell you—that’s the inherent problem of getting something realized in the way they initially conceived it. However, with [environmental graphic] design, because of the nature of the schedule, unless the budget is lopped off, they come out pretty much the way you intend them. Often, I will change a material for a less expensive version, without affecting the look. If whatever I rendered can actually be made in the given budget against the time frame—it will come out exactly like the rendering. That was my major breakthrough. That’s why I love environmental graphics.

Does your internal approach vary dramatically between those two functions? I have separate graphics and signage teams, because I approach graphic design in a very different way than I approach signage. In both areas, my goal is to try to push something to defy the expectation of what it’s supposed to be. There’s an expectation about what a corporation is supposed to look like, or what wayfinding systems look like—my goal is to uproot that whenever possible. Not to the point it becomes impractical, or doesn’t function, but just to explore a different way of doing it. Has being a Pentagram partner afforded you more license in that? Well, some of it’s that, and some of it is I’m impossible to deal with. [laughs] If they like the spirit of the work, and want to talk to me about it, it’s a fairly collaborative journey. They’re still going to make assumptions, and I’m going to test those assumptions. And, in that back and forth, we’re going to invent something. That’s what the fun is. The question is: Can you invent the thing within a budget? I always think you can. One of my favorite projects was the Bloomberg LED. The budget got cut by 50 percent, but because we had made the numbers so big—because it was a job based on numbers—we just cut the jumbotron in half. We saved half the budget and the project was better for it. I love stuff like that—that’s the most fun part of the job. Would you say that you thrive on limitations? I think limitations make work better because you’re always pushing back at them. You want to defy them. That tension is what generates a creative solution. Sometimes, it’s a good idea to take on an area where you see only terrible work being done and challenge perceptions, assumptions and limitations. For example, at first, I didn’t want to do the Park Avenue Garage, but the client said I could do anything I wanted within the budget. The minute he said that, it was a great job. I love it. That being said, I didn’t want all the parking garage jobs that came as a result of it. What recent EGD projects are you really proud of? Scholastic was a surprise; I love the way it came out. It started out like a signage project where they wanted to hang up a lot of illustrations. They just looked junky in this clean modernist office, so what we did is to change it contextually. We turned Harry Potter into a Gilbert and George stained glass window. We made a 3-D model of Captain Underpants bursting through the wall. It’s a scream when you’re in it. I really love it. And what’s wonderful is, it looks that good in real life—exactly like the Photoshop renderings.

Please tell us about how and why you got involved with the auction and where the amazing prints come from!
If you could redesign any one thing, what would you choose?
I have always thought the SEGD Auction was great fun; I wanted to participate somehow. A friend of mine, who I met through Massimo Vignelli, owned a silk-screen company, which was considered the best in New York City. It was called Ambassador Arts and had a number of commercial clients. Paula Scher did their promotions and they began printing her work. Serigrafia Limited was created to handle the more “fine art” projects involving prominent graphic designers, including Paula’s prints. One day, John Evangelista, the owner, called to tell me he sold the business and asked if I could help organize his inventory of “extra” prints. It took me many weekends to conclude that the inventory totaled 25,000 pieces.
I would love to redesign the storefronts on Queens Boulevard, also affectionately called the “Boulevard of Death.” What advice would you give young designers? As a former Assistant Professor at Pratt Institute, I continually told my students, “This is not about you!”

Well done!” “The captivating story of a single railway line that has had a huge impact on a local population is captured elegantly and beautifully in this small museum, which, despite its size, utilizes an incredible variety of mediums and forms to tell a beautiful story. This is a railway museum that captures the essence of why mechanized transportation has yielded powerful human stories since the dawn of the Industrial Age: The train becomes a character that has interacted with so many other, human characters through the years and the museum beautifully captures said interaction between man and machine.” “This project has it all: a strong sense of place and character, a successful deployment of a broad range of interpretive strategies (large motor skills, analog, digital, media, graphics) and an overarching visual coherence that pulls it all together. This is a great example of a variety of design disciplines being deployed and integrated in the creation of a full-bodied, compelling visitor experience.”
This multimedia exhibition is dedicated to a unique narrowgauge railway line in Europe that is not only a place for the preservation of collective memory but is still operational today. The goal of the exhibition design was to create a virtual journey within a stationary space by illustrating the history of the railway and its technical aspects, to highlight the importance of local industrial heritage in the context of broader transport history. The exhibition is in the Northern Latvian town of Aluksne, which is the terminus of a 33-km-long narrow-gauge railway line. In Latvian, the little train that rolls along the line is affectionately known by the diminutive moniker, “Banitis.” In terms of the exhibition design process, the challenges were to create the impression of movement in a static space, in order to fulfill the idea of a virtual journey, and to create an engaging experience. An appropriate design solution was sought with which to tell the local story in an intriguing manner emphasizing experiential design, so that visitors would have a comprehensive spatial and visual experience through sight, hearing and smell. The design incorporates 10 improvised passenger benches named after 10 stops along the railway line. Monitors are integrated into the railcar windows where passengers can observe the slowly moving surrounding landscape. This video footage is augmented by local residents’ stories about the Banitis’ operation during various eras, conjuring up an all-encompassing pictorial narrative of important historical and local events. A special experience for visitors— 3D virtual reality—enables them to see the world through a train driver’s eyes and to acquire knowledge about the most important technical features of the engine that propel the train into motion. The exhibition is located in one of the station’s ancillary buildings, the former baggage shed. Referencing the building’s original function, baggage boxes are used to position exhibits, which now store information instead of freight and convey this to visitors. In order to enhance the impression of the presence of history in the minds of visitors, historical materials were studied during the graphic identity development stage, along with typefaces, tickets, trademarks and other station documents and these were reinterpreted in new graphic language. The design team chose to emphasize a graphic black and white line. In order to preserve the baggage boxes exhibits can only be viewed by peering into a box through a round hole similar to a porthole. However, the most pressing concern was to achieve a balance between the use of digital and analog communication media, in order to make it easier for visitors to perceive the overall message. In the first few months after it was opened to the public, the exhibition has significantly increased tourism in the region, facilitated landscape restoration in the vicinity, and increased public interest industrial heritage. The exhibition is being extensively visited by schools, has engaged the local community and has stimulated interest and discussion in technical professions. Best of Show | SEGD19 23

Design Team Seoul Metropolitan Government: Hyo Jin Kang, Eun Sun Kwon (master planners) YiEUM Partners, Inc.: Jangwon Ahn (principal in charge); Yeonji Lee (project manager); Yangjeong Kim, Eunji Kim, Naeun Ham (designers) Collaborators Design ENY (fabricator) Project Date December 2018 Juror Comments “A design can be aesthetically pleasing, yet if it fails to achieve its function well, the aesthetic quality is rendered meaningless. The supreme care and effort put into researching and consulting with the future users of this wayfinding signage system speaks to the dedication its designers had to creating something that works and brings a significant safety and quality-of-life improvement to residents, rather than merely making an attractive series of signs.” “This design solution is wellresearched, considerate, and powerful. The system is well integrated into the character of the neighborhood’s architecture and brings successful accessibility and wayfinding to those in need.”
Geumho-dong in Seoul is a neighborhood which was built with housing as a top priority—to its detriment. Over 90 percent of the homes built in this neighborhood have no parking spots, or even streets appropriate for vehicular traffic. With three to five story buildings on either side of these narrow passages—barely wide enough for two people to pass shoulder-to-shoulder—a web of electrical wiring overhead and a continuous peripheral view of visual pollution, wayfinding has always been seen as a luxury that could never be afforded to this labyrinth of a neighborhood in central Seoul. While the lack of wayfinding has mostly been a nuisance for visitors to the area and door-to-door delivery services, in recent years it has become evident that wayfinding has become a matter of life and death for its residents. With an aging population, medical emergencies have become much more commonplace and first responders have been unable to quickly respond to emergencies. The design team thoroughly mapped out the area, noting which areas were stairs, ramps and pedestrian-only alleys in addition to all vehicle access points. They then held a series of workshops with residents, fire fighters, EMTs and police to learn more about the neighborhood and its challenges. This exercise brought the team to their first idea: to create a simple way to identify each point of entry into the neighborhood so that residents and emergency responders could use a common language to give directions. Since many points of entry were not vehicle accessible, they decided to designate each entry as a “gate” with a corresponding number. This type of system is familiar for the residents who rely on local public transit, which uses a similar numbering scheme at all subway stations. The biggest "aha" moment came when walking through the neighborhood with police and local residents during an on-site investigation. One of the designers noticed that as residents, police and others in the group were trying to find their location and bearing on a map, rather than looking around at eye level for existing signage, their first instinct was to try and look above the buildings for other known points of reference such as a neighboring high rise or apartment complex. This inspired the team to create a "skyline wayfinding" proposal as a solution for this neighborhood. Being located up at sky-level was the best way to avoid all the problems that made existing signage nearly invisible in this environment. Following the completion of the project, the feedback from residents and emergency responders has been incredibly positive. Perhaps the most impactful feedback came from emergency responders who’ve been able to improve response times. For all these reasons, residents of the local community have since expressed to local officials that they now feel safer in their community.

26 SKYLINE WAYFINDING Wayfinding Merit Award Design Firm Seoul Metropolitan Government, YiEUM Partners Client Seoul Metropolitan Government Location Seoul, South Korea Industry Vertical Residential Design Team Seoul Metropolitan Government: Hyo Jin Kang, Eun Sun Kwon (master planners) | YiEUM Partners, Inc.: Jangwon Ahn (principal in charge); Yeonji Lee (project manager); Yangjeong Kim, Eunji Kim, Naeun Ham (designers), Jaehoon Kang (photography). Collaborators Design ENY (fabrication) Project Date December 2018 Juror Comments “A design can be aesthetically pleasing, yet if it fails to achieve its function well, the aesthetic quality is rendered meaningless. The supreme care and effort put into researching and consulting with the future users of this wayfinding signage system speaks to the dedication its designers had to creating something that works and brings a significant safety and quality-of-life improvement to residents, rather than merely making an attractive series of signs.”
32 MISSISSIPPI ARTS + ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCE—INSIDE THE WRITER’S MIND Honor Award Design Firm Gallagher & Associates Client Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience (The MAX) Location Meridian, Mississippi Industry Vertical Museums Design Team Cybelle Jones (chief creative lead); Ariel Efron (creative director); Julie Flechoux (visual and experience lead); Sarah Brockett (concept and content development); Miri Rosen (research and content support); Staci Hou (digital production); Juan Patino (visual designer); Jonathan Cohen (technical director); Tiffany Wiley, Josh Sennett (exhibition design integration) Collaborators LPK (consultant); Solomon Group, History Associates, Available Light, Roland (fabrication); Woolworth and Associates (AV consultant); Colin Hess (graphics and motion design); Paul Rosenthal (script writer); Followell Fotography (photography); Gallagher & Associates (videography) Project Area 58,000 sq ft Project Date April 2018 Juror Comment “This is a beautiful theatrical projection mapping piece and an inviting immersive experience of looking over the writers’ shoulder as they are talking and typing. What a beautiful way of telling a story!”
“My grandfather was a retired railroad engineer so I grew up up with a lot of delightful railroad images and tales. This exhibit captures the charm of the railroad with beautifully designed structures that create, as the entry states, ‘a virtual journey through time and space, experienced through the interaction of multimedia graphics and authentic objects.’” 106 SEGD19 | Winner Index
“This design solution is wellresearched, considerate, and powerful. The system is well integrated into the character of the neighborhood’s architecture and brings successful accessibility and wayfinding to those in need.”

The research and care put into the visual translation of Messiaen’s manic tonality and polyrhythms, and the focus placed on creating an experience of synesthesia, rather than an experience about synesthesia, is powerful and fun.” 35 BE WASHINGTON: IT’S YOUR TURN TO LEAD Merit Award Design Firm George Washington’s Mount Vernon, Gallagher & Associates, Cortina Productions Client George Washington’s Mount Vernon Location Mount Vernon, Virginia Industry Museums

This project puts well-produced reenactments within an interpretive, gamified framework, challenging visitors to engage with historic characters that are immediate and real, and also engage with each other through a communal, multiplayer experience.”

The exhibit uses color and light, similar to a fine art gallery, to bring focus and study to the design of the vessels themselves and does not overwhelm the visitor with too much content or media.”

The addition of dynamic features, such as signal duration indications, takes superior signaling solutions that aviation and airports have had for years, and brings them to hapless motorists navigating urban jungles. “ 81 NICOLLET Merit Award Design Firm Pentagram Client Minneapolis Downtown Improvement District, City of Minneapolis Location Minneapolis, Minnesota Industry Vertical Urban and Civic Design Team Paula Scher (partner in charge); Courtney Gooch, Rory Simms (designers); Sarah McKeen (project manager) Collaborators James Corner Field Operations (consultant); Paul Vincent (photography) Project Date February 2018 Juror Comment “Nicollet is a beautiful marriage of function and form with a restrained pop of color that perfectly suits the surroundings. The application and materials are thoughtfully considered creating a masterful system of components.”
