2021 ASU MLK Day Campaign

Project Goal: To create a visually engaging ad campaign that explored MLK’s tenets in a new way. Since this was the first digital ad campaign for the client, my team focused on an engaging, techy approach to this.

*race may differ was inspired by a quote from Dr. King’s speech at the Detroit Walk to Freedom in 1963. In it, he reflects that though skin may differ, everyone has a common humanity that is much the same.

The stars of our campaign were these typographic figures. They were crafted out of a multitude of symbols as an intuitive metaphor for diversity.

Respect!
