The new PlaySpace exhibit at the Children’s
Museum in Boston is dedicated to the serious work of childhood: playing
and growing. Bold, colorful environments invite children aged 3 and under
to explore and experiment. For parents, PlaySpace is a window to their childís
world. For children, itís a window to the world around them. A playful logotype
of dimensional cut letters set against a rotated square attracts visitors
from the lobby. Children’s poems, integrated with simple illustrations
of windows, wrap around columns and are set into window bays to reinforce
the theme of the exhibit. The graphic system for this exhibit complements
the atmosphere of fun and learning while maintaining the function of providing
information in both English and Spanish.
