BRAND POSTERS

The brand was driven by the duality of historical accounts: the hidden and the propagated. The use of the "#" symbol marks the integration of the current culture and the historical significance of the event/person discussed. For the purpose of the posters, I picked historically famous figures (keeping in mind that this can become a mega series) like M. K. Gandhi, Johannes Gutenberg & Al-Khwarizmi, each known across history in both positive and negative connotations.

THE REDISCOVERY FAIR

An exhibition created by the brand "Clio" to bring awareness and education to middle school students. Includes an ID, a maze walkway, a journal and badges in a take-away bag.

THE HISTORY WING

The quest to redefine history will not be complete without schools realizing it. The following are mock-ups inspired by the idea of a history wing with interactive maps and elements instead of textbooks. The visualization of events with a global perpective encourages easier interpretation of world history than textbooks.

THE CHAPTER GAME

Sure, there were now classes in an interactive classroom, but what about homework? How can a teacher know if the child understood what was happening? How can a child learn something without getting bored of it easily? A tablet-based application: accessible, fun and educative, can substitute all that boring history homework with easy interfaces for teachers and students.
