A new exhibit by Hunt Design celebrates the life and times of noted television journalist Huell Howser. Designed for Chapman University, installed in their Leatherby Library and funded by the Automobile Club of Southern California, the 700 sq.ft. permanent display illuminates Howser’s forty-five-year life on camera. A colorful timeline tracks Howser from the University of Tennessee to New York City and on to Los Angeles where he produced over 1000 human interest television programs, most notably, KCET’s California’s Gold.
“Making an effective, largely static exhibit about a media personality is not easy,” says project designer Jennifer Bressler. “We tried hard to bring Huell’s dynamic personality to life with color, type and image.” Large quotes from Howser’s famous exclamations punctuate the exhibit; family-style photos help interpret Howser’s journey from high school column writer to wildly popular TV host.
Separate displays highlight the interesting people and places that made California’s Gold so popular with millions of viewers for so long.
