Student work: MAshapaug Pond Interpretive Signs

UppArts and Alvarez high school 

An in-school graphic design course culminating in a series of 10 student-designed interpretive panels exploring the fraught history of the land around Providence's Mashapaug Pond.  Students began with exploring basic design principles, graduating to design processes specific to interpretive signage design. Students researched and wrote content, participated in multiple group critiques, and worked through a minimum of 8 redesigns before completing a final suite of signage.
