About Project

A hypothetical exterior signage project for Baltimore's Parkway Theatre. The theatre is currently undergoing renovations under the guidance of local architecture studio Ziger/Snead in order to be the new home of the Maryland Film Festival and other associated entities. This signage proposal modernizes some of the building's historic details and stays partially in line with Ziger/Snead's vision. Themes of light and dark; old and new; horizontal and vertical; and pedestrian and vehicular are all addressed, and a cohesive visual identity unites the graphic and architectural realms.
