As a graphic designer in an urban planning world, I’ve happily spruced up the aesthetics of many a community group. There’s a 90% chance I’m going back to Johannesburg in July to facilitate Global Studio and help the nonprofit organization Diepsloot Community News start up a local news system. In the meanwhile, I’ve been helping them from afar with a logo and letterhead. A shouting “D” makes for a bold mark that’s easy to recreate on the fly, and the font Gotham is a nod to Obama’s current campaign font. We are the change we want to see, rah!
