Wording, typeface, color would match other promotional materials I'd designed, and tie it all together. Sure. But she'd just hired a designer. What he came up with looked like, according to a friend, "a cover of a lurid mystery novel he hadn't read." Rather than using something wildly inappropriate, I chose not to have this sign. A large sign with my name accompanies the exhibit, anyway; the additional sign would have served more as a chapter title. Still, it would have been nice. Not being a designer, design is hard for me but for that exhibit, everything had worked out well.
