"What an incredible piece of work!"
-Nina Bodenhamer, City of Fort Collins
The Ask:
Create an interpretive sign at the 9/11 Memorial at Spring Park to explain the involvement of Fort Collins in response to the 9/11 disaster.
The Solution:
I created a large scale sign that shares the story of the tragic events of 9/11, how Fort Collins responded, the journey of the I-beam now displayed at the memorial, and finally how we still honor those fallen today.
"Special thanks to Rachel Booth, whose creativity brought to life the 9/11 Memorial onsite sign and the accompanying commemorative book."
-Chief Derek Bergsten, Poudre Fire Authority
The Process:
-
Idea: show a transition from chaotic, jagged lines when describing the event of 9/11 itself transforming into to smooth, calm lines via the journey of the beam into the present day memorial.
-
Work with Comms team to define the copy included on both the sign and book
-
Design Interpretive Sign
-
Design book
-
Photography of site build, completed site, and finally grand opening event
The Results:
An 11' x 2' interpretive sign that allows viewers to walk through the journey
A 10"x10" commemorative book to give to donors and honored guests
