Big Book of Central (For Mobile Exhibition)
To start the African American Museum’s mobile exhibiting, I designed and produced (photo-copied pages for) The Big Book of Central.
The All-Yearbook boasts one page from every Central High School Yearbook, from 1922-1971.
Central was the first Fort Wayne high school; the book is kicking off our coverage of the history of education in the city.

I did not design the layout. Just wrote the article, the next installment in my series about Central High School and its alumni.

Mini Mobile Display
Working on a series of mobile display panels for the African/African American Historical Society Museum. I designed and am presently building the mobile displays for my Central event. But the museum will also use them for their Museum on Wheels program. This is the MINI.
The content pages are held up with magnets (bottom left pic).
Folding Wing Aircraft – Folding Paper Airplane
As a co-production with the African American Museum here in town, I conceived/designed this paper airplane that tells the story of Hermon Grimes Sr., the inventor the the folding wing aircraft design that helped win World War II by shortening the war and savings lives.
With every fold, more of Grimes’ story is told. We plan on incorporating this into our MADE History Comic/Aeronautics for kids program.
Covenant CDC Logo
Here is a logo I co-designed with Adrian Williams for New Covenant’s upcoming community development enterprise.
Vendor / Sponsor Booklet
I needed something simple and inexpensive so I designed my vendor booklet for the 2016 festival with one 11 x 17 sheet of paper.
Info Packet For Coffee Mug
I designed an information packet for my Central High All-Decade Coffee Mug, for when we sell them to outside gift shops. Currently, they can be purchased at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art and Visit Fort Wayne, in addition to their gift shop of origin at the African American Museum.
Center for Nonviolence Poster
The first in a series of anti-violence posters designed pro-bono for the Center For Nonviolence, here in Fort Wayne. I photographed the volunteers separately, and collaborated with the center’s marketing department on the copy.
