Library Monthly Event Signs, March 2011

A selection of the 21 designs used to promote library events in March.

March has been designated as--among many other things--National Women's History Month and International Women's History Month. So in order to combine both "national" and "international" designations, I created a set of 21 11x17 inch designs to promote library events in March under the theme tag line of: "Celebrating Inspirational Women In History."


I sourced images from a variety of sources, selected those that were of a high enough resolution quality to enlarge, and worked them into my design. Each branch received their own unique combination set of pages.


Who made the list? Here's the honourees, ranging from ancient times to the modern era:


Rosie the Riveter (used as a nod to "the every-day-woman" in general and more specifically to all those who pitched in during war-time era efforts and beyond), Susan B. Anthony, Catherine the Great, Nefertiti, Sappho, Mother Teresa, Cleopatra, Mae Jemison, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth I, Margaret Thatcher, Madeline Albright, Joan of Arc, Florence Nightingale, Gloria Steinem, Oprah Winfrey, Marie (Madame) Curie.


There were plenty of other exceptional nominees worthy of the inclusion, but I had to stop somewhere. Sorry ladies!


Addendum: Have been receiving very nice feedback on the designs, including this from the Resource Manager of the Library Partnership: 
"WOW!!!!!! I love them….can we just keep you to ourselves over here at the LP…. J"
