a part of history
10 | FINAL DESIGN
My final design attempts to remedy all the previous issues identified in the initial design. First, the checkmark was added to the blank box in front of “AS YOU PLEASE.” The other typography elements, however, stayed largely untouched. The most notable changes were to the mock-up itself. Instead of a single, thin chapter book, I used a series of thick, hardcover books, which read more like history books. The background was also changed to a sleek, black backdrop to create more contrast with the books.

Jenny also suggested the slogan “Become a part of history” in order to make the history connection even more apparent. Each of the textbooks also chronicle an important year in US voting history. Starting with 1920, the book is titled “To Vote For Country and (Wo)Man” and reads, “With the ratification of the 19th Amendment, the vote can no longer be denied to a US citizen on the basis of sex.” The 1965 book is titled “Any Vote Can Rock the Boat” and reads, “The Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibits any racial discrimination regarding the right to vote.”
Lastly, we find ourselves at 2020, which reads, “100 years after the 19th Amendment, a nation finds itself on the eve of election day.” This year, more than ever, we are feeling the pressure and urgency surrounding election year. It’s been a century since the passing of the 19th Amendment, albeit our work is not finished. We must each play our role this year to make a difference and let our voices be heard. The series will continue on, and we will become a part of history.
