BARBICAN MANGASIA

Barbican, London

Date -
12.05.17

A detailed proposal for both the graphic and architectural design of a touring Manga exhibition by the Barbican entitled ‘Mangasia’. We chose to focus on the typographic contrasts of the different cultures represented in the show by creating a bold set of graphic elements inspired by communicative devices used throughout manga and anime culture.

Branding proposal in collaboration with Charles Rickleton
