Role:

Web Design

Branding

The Latino Center for Arts and Culture in Sacramento asked us to help design a archive website for their collection of Chicano Screenprint posters. As screenprinters ourselves, we jumped at the opportunity to work with the organization and showcase the work.

01

Website

The Chicano Art Archive was born as a way to bring new eyes to the LCA's collection. SIT  developed the archive site in close collaboration with the Latino Center for Arts and Culture, focusing on clearly telling the story of the movement.

Logo

The mark is a stylized version of a symbol used by the United Farm Workers, a Union seeking empowerment and fair wages in Californian agriculture.

Type

Besides Self Modern and Söhne Breit, the brand of the collection relies on a hand-drawn typeface inspired by lettering from the collection itself.

Colors

Colors were chosen pragmatically—a rich black and white were picked first, alongside a pop color. The home gradient colors were chosen to create an analogous visual sequence, and the query colors were chosen to be easily visually distinguished from each other.
