The Design

About Self Help Graphics and Art Identidade de Marca

Self Help Graphics and Art é um projeto de rebranding para um centro de artes comunitário no leste de Los Angeles. A nova identidade reflete os valores, a missão e a história do centro, que nasceu da identidade cultural e do empoderamento político de artistas chicanas, chicanos e latinx. A estrutura em grade dos hieróglifos astecas e maias inspirou uma família tipográfica de display e um logotipo personalizados. O logotipo foi cortado a laser em madeira MDF e impresso em tipografia (letterpress) para acrescentar textura. Os cartazes foram impressos em serigrafia para homenagear a história da gravura do centro.
