Client: Gotham Center

The Gotham Center is a research and public education institution, sponsored by The Graduate Center, CUNY, dedicated to advancing scholarly and public understanding of New York City’s rich and living past. I worked with Gotham Center to create a proof of concept multimedia self-guided walking tour “app” around the history of New York City and the American Revolution.

  • The Gotham Center team had preliminary branding from their very first version of the site include color schemes based on historical home colors and a name. It was on me to create a logo that spoke to their historical content, and finalize the color palette and font choices to make mobile and web friendly for the walking tour.

  • The Gotham Center had done quite a bit of research and had a ton of content to put on the site. Considering that they also wanted to create a mobile friend walking tour, we decided to organize the content into an abbreviated version for the walking tour and the long form version in the library for further reading.
    I designed the walking tour pages to prioritize mobile usage and included:

    • Easy tap icons to move back and forward between tour stops.

    • Google map links for each stop so folks could easily navigate on the go,

    • truncated content to keep limit continuous scrolling with a "continue reading" to expand the content as desired,

    • and a stop menu for every page for users to navigate to stops of interest or review information in a different order.

  • The Gotham Center ran Link NYC ads for the walking tour app. I created four animated ads featuring interesting facts from the tour complete with QR codes to easily lead views to the site.

  • The Gotham Center collaborated with the New York City Fire Museum to hold exhibit space in the museum and distribute brochures about the walking tour. I designed the exhibit poster and the the brochures on display in the museum.
