Community Identity Anthology
A GRAPHIC DESIGN PUBLICATION

+PUBLIC IS:
RJ Thompson
+ Kent Kerr
+Public was originally conceptualized as a reaction to an unsubmitted grant proposal intended to be reviewed by the National Endowment for the Arts. This proposal sought to implement a workflow model designed by experiences cultivated by RJ Thompson with his work on the City of You branding platform. This workflow model enables communities of all sizes to take control of their perception and create meaningful, intelligent expressions across all communication channels. Although the grant was unsubmitted, the ideas contained within it are primed for action NOW.
