ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Bill of Rights is a seemingly mundane piece of American History. Applying a design to highlight current political voices breathes new life into this dated document, and with it, new meanings. With this experimentation, a specific voice is made to be represented. Black Lives Matter remains an important movement constantly shining light on police brutality and racially motivated crimes.
HAND-LETTERING
The BLM campaign is known by their logo, to represent that, I wanted to hand letter the spaces of the fist to create the illusion without the shape present. The hand-lettered hand is then made to breakthrough the preamble that creates the frame of the composition. The process may look messy, but the final result is the powerful message and image created from the use of words that have since being put down to paper been rendered outdated. It is in our hands to know them and update them in our struggles and fights against oppression.
