Design Philadelphia Buttons

This is my second year interning for DesignPhiladelphia. Last year I designed the laser cut event signage, and was part of the team that designed the illuminated outdoor signs that were placed at all the events.

This year one of my tasks was to design the promotional buttons. They are all "d"s and if you flip them over they are "p"s too. They are worn in pairs to spell "DP" for DesignPhiladelphia.

Each button is a photo taken in the streets of Philadelphia. Hopefully locals will recognize a few of the letters taken from the signs that they have been looking at for years.

The DP team will be handing out the buttons and other goodies tonight in Old City during First Friday, so please come out and show your support.
