This project includes several print and digital products for a writers’ conference. It includes a logo and visual style system, multiple posters, wayfinding systems, digital graphics, and a printed booklet for the event.
My conference, Class In Session, centers discussions of class in the work and work life of writers, pertaining to political and economic realities and possibilities.
The style of this conference was heavily inspired by poster designs of the mid-20th century, particularly in the International Typographic Style. I picked this era of design as inspiration because it was around the last time period that labor in the United States was consciously organized on a mass scale in the political interests of working people.
The motif of arrows present throughout all the materials, pointing in opposing directions and colored in opposing black and white, convey the inherent conflict and movement of forces in our politics and economic system.
