Cunningham Architecture Library, which is a branch of Oklahoma State Library is celebrating the creation of the Women in Architecture Collection, books and resources by women & about women in architecture.

When I designed this graphic, I inspired Bauhaus-like style poster to create the digital signage and poster for this event. I set a mood that was geometric and strictly aligned with the grid system because I think it expresses the image of architecture that people usually imagine of it.

For the color palette, I did not want to choose a stereotype of woman’s color such as pink or pastel color. This event is celebrating the woman’s “achievement” and “works”, not just “woman” itself. To avoid expressing the stereotype, I chose muted red and teal color that inspired by Sheila O’Donnel’s architecture work.
