From Margin to Center is a multi-quarter Shoreline Community College project aiming to bring exposure and foster discussion surrounding issues that groups of people marginalized by modern society experience every day, both on and off campus.
“Oftentimes the stories, contributions, and histories of people of color or LGBTQ communities, are either invisible or entirely erased. So the goal of this is to create
a space for visibility and share what’s often left out of dominant discussion.”
– Rezina Habtemariam, Director of Student Life
Besides representing the topics at hand, I wanted to express an air of positivity with my design. I want the children of the future to wish upon dandelion seeds; to not worry about their general safety nor their position in society. Until we as a nation succeed in this, the margin intensifies.
For this brochure/poster design, we demanded an attention to these aforementioned issues while producing something that would be displayed as wall art. As designer, I created a cohesive collateral package of posters and signage centered around a brochure outlining the schedule of events, speaker bios, as well as info about the on-going community read project.
