A Still Segregated America

This piece shows how America is still segregated. It depicts the separation of racial groups in both New York and Detroit. This is relevant to the topic of “relationships” because it shows how people are still connected by their country (America) but are also still divided. The separation of people based on race has existed since the colonial era and still exists today. I decided to design this piece to communicate the message that America has ways to go in achieving true racial diversity.

Poster titled “A Still Segregated America…” showing two human profiles filled with neighbourhood map patterns and separated by a diagonal divide. One profile is labelled “Detroit 2010” and the other “New York 2010.” Tall skyscraper city skylines frame the New York side while more residential houses line the Detroit side and there are contrasting map colours and background colours.
