REMEMBERING RBG

Fall 2020

This was one of my first graphic design assignments.

The election of 2020 was looming, social unrest was a daily occurrence, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg had just passed away.  Given the message and the ongoing protests revolving around racial injustice, I wanted to marry the two into one concept.

The photograph is fair-use and shows people, of all stripes, exercising their First Amendment rights.  It sets the tone before the quote starts to play across the screen.

I applied an adjustment layer to make it black and white and then used a color block to aid in the readability of the text and garner visual interest.

I varied the type point size to help give the type visual flow.  The last transition was a simple reminder to vote - providing the date and website to assist with any questions.
