Abstract
Working with History Professor Michael J. Kramer, I was tasked with designing a series of table tents featuring quotes from civil and women’s rights activist Fannie Barrier Williams. Using content drafted by students in the Fannie Barrier Williams Project course, I am creating a set of printable PDFs to be displayed on table at the Union, library, and possible even outside galleries/venues. My goal is to develop a cohesive identity system for the project that could translate to posters and other applications. Since Mrs. Williams was Brockport’s first African American graduate, I heavily incorporated the school’s color palette in the project. I also wanted to engage the average college student - even those without a strong interest in history - which means using bold and eye-catching graphics. The project has evolved into a series of posters as well as a short animation featuring the quotes to be displayed in the Fannie Barrier Williams Building. Overall the project has given me the experience of working closely with a client and integrating graphic design with other departments on campus
