What's the Big Idea?
Museum Exhibit Design, Build & Installation
This was an exciting project for the APEX Museum in downtown Atlanta. The exhibit highlighted the many, many inventions that black inventors either created or were credited as instrumental in developing and went on to be a traveling exhibit across the country.
​
It featured such notable inventors as Madam C.J. Walker, regarded as the first female millionaire and Lewis Howard Latimer who in 1881, patented a method for making carbon filaments, allowing light bulbs to burn for hours instead of minutes, like Edison's.
​
The exhibit's logo design elements were in homage to Latimer's filament. The six colored squares represent six areas of influence, each represented by a 4 foot by 8 foot graphic panel, including Agriculture, Commerce (shown above to the left) and
Transportation, which proudly featured the automatic traffic signal, invented by Garrett Morgan.
