Royal Museums Greenwich
Spotlight Series

Grade was commissioned to develop a concept and series design for a range of compact, low-cost titles for Royal Museums Greenwich. The aim was to create accessible introductions to some of the most intriguing objects in the collection, which then expand into a broader historical context for the reader. The museums span four World Heritage sites: the National Maritime Museum, the Royal Observatory, the Queen’s House, and Cutty Sark. The selected design solution uses a flexible cover system that allows the featured object image to shift position across titles, creating a dynamic presentation when displayed together in retail environments and online. A distinct branding colour palette for each location is used to clearly indicate its place within the wider collection.
