I was commissioned by local expert historian, Donna Rae Pearson, to serve as the graphic designer of the "Women of Brown" project. The pop-up exhibit project consists of 5 vertical retractable banners and 1 large pop-up display that tells the story of the 12 women plaintiffs of the Brown vs. Board of Education case of 1952, and how physical and social proximity lead to a historical movement. Although Brown vs Board is highly recognized, the involvement, stories and existence are often untold or outright ignored. The "Women of Brown" exhibit was initiated to rectify this issue and bring well-deserved and overdue recognition and celebration of these Women.  My task as graphic designer was to create a compelling way to tell this story and design a map of Topeka during that time period that diagrams the connections of the Women. I also created the logos and promotional materials for the project. One noteworthy visual element I used in the designing of this project was the use of purple, which symbolizes royalty and reverence. Each Woman was assigned their own shade of purple. These shades of purple were used on the profile panels, which display photos and biographies of the Women, and for diagramming and referencing on the map. The exhibit is considered "pop-up" because the panels will have the ability to be booked by individuals and organizations for events and other educational purposes.
