Museum of Performance & Design

The Museum of Performance & Design is the first international arts institution devoted to the celebration of the performing arts and theatrical design. It is currently located in the Veterans Building in San Francisco’s Civic Center and has historical print documents on display relating to the performing arts, set design, costume and print materials. The museum hosts a yearly oral history workshop under the Legacy Oral History Program. Legacy’s collection holds more than seventy oral histories of the Bay Area dance, music, and theater performing arts communities in various media forms including leather bound print volumes and DVD and web-based presentation.

As a graduate student of the CCA Graduate Design program my work with the museum consists of redesigning the Legacy Oral History Workshop reader guide, as well as, other promotional material for the program. Giving the workshop materials a solid visual identity will continue to increase the program's visibility to the public and help maintain its solid reputation. The redesign is also meant to allow the program leaders flexibility in changing content from year to year while maintaining a consistent visual identity.
