Issues
My senior thesis, Issues, uses the graphic style of the 1950s to convey the similarities between the social issues then and now. I focused on issues regarding public health, women’s rights, and civil rights. My research findings were nothing but negative. However, this was imperative to the success of my project. These issues are as prevalent today as they were in the 1950s. This highlights the need for change not only then, but now.
Supergraphics
I communicated my ideas through supergraphics made up of letter sized sheets of paper. They are cost effective and easy to assemble. This conveys the urgency behind the matter. The modular units allows them to be assembled anywhere, and can be made up of as many or as little components as you want.
Icons
I imitated the style of 1950s graphic design in order to create hand drawn graphics.
Typeface
I imitated the style of 1950s graphic design in order to create a hand drawn typeface.
