Notice Information

Notice Title

Sound Season - design contract

Notice Description

We are looking for a creative design team to work with the museum project team to bring this exhibition project to life. We would expect the designers to initially spend time with the content team to absorb the details of the exhibition. We would then look to the design team to distil this vision into a concept design covering all nominated spaces. Once approved by the NSMM senior managers, this concept is to be developed into a detailed design showing clearly how the concept ideas will map onto the practical detailing of our gallery spaces. Once this detailed version of the exhibition has been approved, then all elements will need to be art-worked to a production level ready to be sent to a graphics production house. We would expect the designer to work with the graphics company to ensure that all elements are produced to specification and to schedule. We would also expect the designers to oversee the installation of the graphics within the exhibition galleries. In addition to works on the graphics, we would expect the designers to collaborate with the fit-out company to ensure that their vision of the exhibition build is successfully translated into affordable build plans.
