Black Power to Black People is a conceptual exhibition design project exploring how the Black Panther Party used graphic design as a tool of political communication. The project focused on designing a poster and title wall for a hypothetical exhibition centered on the Party's visual identity — its use of print, typography, and image to build a movement and control its own narrative. The design draws from the era's political graphic tradition: high-contrast imagery, bold type hierarchies, and confrontational compositions that communicate urgency and solidarity without relying on decoration.

The exhibition poster was built around a single strong image and a typographic structure that mirrors the clarity and force of the Party's own printed materials. Color, weight, and scale were used to establish a visual language that felt connected to the historical work rather than distant from it. The poster needed to communicate the weight of the subject while functioning as a designed object — something that could draw a viewer in before the exhibition itself does.

The title wall extends the poster's visual logic into environmental space. Large type, controlled color, and structural simplicity create an entry point that sets the tone for the exhibition before the viewer engages with any individual work. The goal was to make the wall feel like it belongs to the same system as the poster — not a separate application, but an extension of the same design thinking into a different format and scale.

This project helped me explore how exhibition design can engage with historical material without becoming illustrative or purely decorative. The focus was on building a visual system that feels genuinely related to its subject — one where the design itself communicates something about why graphic work mattered to the movement it's documenting.
