I love the Infantry Museum

I love the infantry because they are the underdogs. They are the mud-rain-frost-and-wind boys. They have no comforts, and they even learn to live without the necessities. And in the end they are the guys that wars can’t be won without.

This past week I went down to Columbus, Georgia to see Christopher Chadbourne & Associates’s National Infantry Museum at Fort Benning. I worked on this project as a junior designer — I helped to finalize design drawings and produced final graphic design files. (Brent Johnson was the lead exhibit designer, and Jeff Stammen the lead graphic designer.) I suppose I cut my exhibit design teeth on this one. I learned SO MUCH about the design process while working on this. And I know all these graphics so well — it’s thrilling to see them realized, and in person. It was an honor to work on this museum.
