Turning Weapons Into Art Invitation Card
I was given the assignment to design a project base on a neighborhood.
Year

Invitation Card
Overview
This block used to be a storage area to collect weapons for the civil war. Now, it has become a hub for creativity with the annual art event “Flux Night”. After I did the research on this block, I was inspired by the idea of turning weapons into art.
"Castleberry Hill is an industrial area turned trendy, with residential lofts and indie art galleries in old warehouses. ”
Challenge
I didn’t get any special requests from this project, which means I need to find out what the block really needs. I did research on all aspects of this block and noticed that the keyword will be “weapon”, “ history” and “artist”.
Research
Research is formalized curiosity
Solution
According to the research, I think invitation cards are the best format to introduce this block. I decided to create a paper gun to represent my idea of turning weapons into art. The paper guns will be placed on the sidewalk for people to pick up and interact with. After people open the paper gun invitation, they will find information about a special exhibition about this block and its history.
