The Black Experience
In the Fall of 2019, Black Public Media (BPM) reached out to Ghost Note Agency to create a refresh of their current branding identity and website. The organization’s platform serves as a source to support media content centered around the global Black experience. They do this by funding, producing, and distributing material for African American creators and visionaries across the world. The project initiative was to create a rebrand that resembled its former identity in addition to a culturally artistic/modern brand system to accompany it. After deciphering through a few concept directions with my former colleagues, this was the direction that was eventually approved and finalized.
The live website design can be viewed here.

The inspired themes that contributed to the thought process behind these elements are as listed:
