Project Details

For the Wright Museum’s 60th anniversary, the design focused on telling a story that spanned generations. The collages, meticulously crafted, integrated archival and contemporary elements, weaving together a narrative of resilience, innovation, and cultural pride. Quilt-making patterns served as a foundation, referencing both African American artistic traditions and the museum’s role in preserving these histories. The jewel-toned color palette, a client request, added richness and depth to the campaign, while the inclusion of an Egyptian-style slab serif typography added a historical reference to print media and its importance to honor the past. With minimal source imagery—including three modest photos of Charles H. Wright himself—the design amplified its impact by layering meaning into every detail. Highlights like the drinking gourd constellation subtly reinforced the museum’s role as a guiding light in the preservation of African American heritage. Despite limited photographic assets, the campaign elevated the Wright Museum’s anniversary celebration, showcasing its vibrant history and promising future.
