Sometimes design requires research to know what is best method to communicate a message.
University of Arkansas Footprints
For my MA Capstone, I created a footprints map to aid in the University of Arkansas’s efforts to promote diversity and inclusive. An ongoing project, the map is meant to highlight the stories and projects of first generation Arkansans at the University of Arkansas
The design consists of 75 identical circles representing each county in Arkansas. The green marker highlights the location of each student and project.
