Detroit Declaration


Detroit Declaration
Design by Claire Nelson (2010)

This was one of those projects where I didn't set out to design anything. It started with a bunch of friends talking about how we needed a bigger vision for Detroit's future, and then we drafted the Detroit Declaration. When we got to the point where we needed to share the document, I couldn't resist making it look a little prettier than some boring black type on white paper. But this was definitely a group effort, with big ups to Sarah Szurpicki and Kirsten Ussery for pointing out that the rays should come from the street, not the top of the Ren Cen as originally created.
