For my Advanced Typography course, I chose to design promotional materials for the Trap Music Museum—a project that was both a creative challenge and a deeply personal expression of cultural pride. As the only Black student in the class, I felt a profound responsibility to authentically represent trap music, a genre born from the resilience and creativity of the Black community.
Trap music, with its rich cultural roots and powerful storytelling, served as the foundation for my designs. I created posters, business cards, tote bags, and other promotional materials that celebrated the genre’s boldness, vibrancy, and cultural significance. Through typography, I aimed to reflect the grit and rhythm of trap music, combining dynamic typefaces with sharp, energetic layouts.
This project wasn’t just about promoting a museum—it was about preserving and celebrating a piece of Black culture. Every design element was chosen to honor the origins of trap music and invite others to appreciate its artistry and impact. This experience underscored the importance of using design as a tool for representation, storytelling, and advocacy.
