The Design

About Self Help Graphics and Art Markenidentität

Self Help Graphics and Art ist ein Rebranding-Projekt für ein Gemeinschaftskunstzentrum in East Los Angeles. Die neue Identität spiegelt die Werte, die Mission und die Geschichte des Zentrums wider, das aus der kulturellen Identität und dem politischen Selbstbewusstsein von Chicana-, Chicano- und Latinx-Künstlern entstanden ist. Die Gitterstruktur aztekischer und mayanischer Hieroglyphen inspirierte eine eigens entwickelte Display-Schrift und ein Logotype. Das Logotype wurde lasergeschnitten auf MDF-Holz und im Buchdruckverfahren gedruckt, um Textur hinzuzufügen. Die Plakate wurden im Siebdruck gestaltet, um die Geschichte des Drucksatzes des Zentrums zu ehren.
