While working on other small projects, we heard back from the Greenwich Historical Society. They approved our work and asked us to move forward with the project. The client wants to highlight how the Revolutionary War affected the local community and share personal stories and decisions made during that time. They prefer designs that use original historical materials, such as letters, documents, and images, to keep it authentic. They also asked us to avoid using red or blue to keep the design neutral and inclusive.
For the rest of the week, I spent my time researching design ideas and inspirations. I looked through historical archives, studied other Revolutionary War exhibits, and saw how personal stories were shown in those displays. I also explored different fonts, color choices, and layout styles that would fit the client’s vision while staying true to history. This helped me come up with ideas for a design that feels real, interesting, and respectful of the time period.
