British Museum: Babylon


For the British Museum’s much acclaimed Babylon exhibition BAF aimed to produce graphics worthy of the rare and precious exhibits. This involved using clever techniques such as Rho prints direct to gold wallpaper and painted panels where background white ink was used to give the images exceptional vibrancy. An ancient wall effect was achieved on a 5m high Rho to vinyl. Careful installation was required co-ordinating with the museum on the care of precious artefacts. Other features include etched Perspex in-cased title panels and considered colour matched ink jet labels to match the museums carefully selected paints and fabrics.
