Description
As part of the museum component initiative to build museum capacity for managing and presenting Armenia's cultural heritage, the USAID My Armenia Program (MAP) is seeking a Contractor who can provide graphic design services to enhance the exhibitions and printed materials at select target regional museums in Armenia. While each museum will have specific needs for its exhibitions, generally, graphic design elements in exhibitions help to create spaces that are welcoming to visitors, encourage engagement with the content, and facilitate the storytelling in each exhibition. Similarly, museums have different needs when it comes to designing public-facing materials aimed at educating the public about the museum's collections, exhibitions, and programs. The work will consist of two primary types of design services:
a) Developing graphic design materials for museum marketing and public programming. Working with previously established branding guidelines and templates, the Contractor will be required to format texts, photos and images for museum brochures, public programming, materials and other marketing collaterals (banners, signage, posters, postcards, stickers) - both print and digital. Templates and branding guidelines will be made available to the Contractor in the following file formats: .ai, .eps, .pdf;
b) Developing graphic design materials for museum exhibitions. The Contractor will be required to work with previously established branding guidelines and templates to format texts for museum exhibition labels and panels. The Contractor will also develop new graphic elements (wall panels, timelines, maps, etc.) to enhance the look and feel, interpretation, and wayfinding of exhibitions at each target museum. Materials should be developed with an eye toward creativity and utility, as well as in line with previously established branding guidelines for each museum.
Responsibilities
The selected Graphic Designer will be responsible for working with My Armenia museums team and regional museums on the implementation of the following tasks:
- Format text layouts and images into existing brochure templates for nine (9) regional museums to prepare for print;
- Create trilingual, bilingual, or single-language (as directed by MAP) museum labels, panels, and other interpretive elements using pre-designed templates and branding guidelines;
- Develop new concepts, draft and finalize design files for exhibition and public programming materials, including but not limited to timelines, maps, illustrations, typography, posters, postcards or exhibition panels;
- Develop design materials for the museum component's events and activities (brochures, posters, booklets, invitations).
Deliverables: The Graphic Designer will work with MAP and MAP target museum to review drafts of and finalize each design deliverable, but the following list should serve as a general guideline for the deliverables:
- Draft and final layouts of text and images for nine (9) regional museum brochures;
- Draft and final layouts of graphic timelines illustrating the lives and careers of artists, art movements, historical events;
- Draft and final layouts of graphic maps and illustrations depicting historical monuments, archaeological sites and artefacts;
- Draft and final layouts of object labels, expanded object labels, introduction and section panels;
- Draft and final layouts of marketing collaterals and public programming materials;

All templates and branding guidelines for each museum will be provided by MAP in advance. All deliverables are subject to My Armenia review and approval.
