EFECT
Visual Identity, Website Design
EFECT is an experimental feminist network, committed to disruptive ideation and working in messy spaces. I was brought into this project in the final stages, after much of the research and workshop creation had been completed on this multi-year project. I was tasked with creating a visual identity, a 150+ page workbook curriculum for teens and a website where all the work could be accessed.
EFECT developed a set of methods and toolkits which reflect their common ethics and equity based collaboration. The definition of collaboration is purposefully expansive, engaging community partners METRAC, Atwater Library, and SARC, young people, community organizers, artist, entrepreneurs and tech-industry innovators to re-frame digital culture and media-masking as tools to empower, educate and build bridges.
Identity
The identity needed to appeal to both teens and adults and to present as clear, bold and approachable. The project self-identified as feminist and wanted to stay away from stereotypical pinks. The identity also needed to be fully functional for both print and online. The work was to be used as a teaching tool for facilitators to run the workshops also included in the book.
The Workbook
The workbook was created as a facilitator guide for the workshops. We created a system of icons that could lead you through the various parts of each lesson. Clean, open and easy to read!
Merch!
The project was to be presented at conferences across the country and needed some stickers to build a bit of buzz among educators and students alike. We utilized a QR code to share the website along with the project tagline “free open-access feminist digital literacy workbook”.
