With the intention of developing a campaign with the message of inclusivity, a lot of research went into the creative process. My research began with Queer x Design by Andy Campbell gifted to me by my mother-in-law for Christmas this past year (2021). Going into this project with the intention of reinventing a historical LGBTQ campaign, this book was the perfect place to start. Campbell illustrates the importance of each graphic or campaign influencing the future design to come. I was inspired by the Pink Triangle, Silence=Death, Nautical Star Tattoo, Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), queercore, and public art.
