Celebrating and elevating design in the Queen City.
Cincinnati
Design Week 2022
Cincinnati Design Week is a multiple-day celebration of all things design, made up of workshops, panel discussions, and speaking events, curated and put on by AIGA Cincinnati. After being virtual for 2 years, this CDW was an opportunity to relaunch AIGA Cincinnati and introduce a new board and vision.
The 2022 theme was Growing from our Roots: The confluence of past and future. With life moving faster and faster everyday, this was an opportunity to recognize the great work happening now in Cincinnati and reflect back on those who came before us. This city has a vibrant creative community and deep design history. In 2022 we wanted to uplift and amplify the talented designers and visionaries in the Queen City, as well as acknowledge the trail blazers and innovators that paved the way for us.
This identity was conceived as a metaphor for the diversity of communities and voices in the Cincinnati area. A playful and eclectic family of lettering to echo and amplify the wide variety of creatives in the Queen City.
AIGA, a nonprofit educational institution, is the oldest and largest professional membership organization for design. Its mission is to advance design as a professional craft, strategic tool and vital cultural force. AIGA’s local Cincinnati chapter supports its members and the community by organizing projects, events, lectures, conferences and competitions that build local connections while cultivating a broader understanding of the value of design.
This project was designed in collaboration with the board of AIGA Cincinnati where Clara is Co-Vice President.
