Design for Us: Workshop + Toolkit

Design for Us was a community workshop that I facilitated for my Master’s thesis. The project involved working with a group of fourteen high school aged-youth from Seattle. Empowered with the tools of visual communication design, they worked with an undergraduate and me to develop a poster that addressed an issue of personal concern—inequality, suicide, gun violence, obesity. The posters were printed by hand and distributed in the community by each participant. As result, I developed a toolkit that offers strategies, tips, and resources for graphic designers interested in initiating community-driven design projects.
