Superhero Librarian Business Cards

Superhero Librarian Business Cards - The very inspring Stefan Sagmeister came to RIT during my senior year to give a lecture, and while we anticipated his arrival he challenged the campus to "Touch Someone's Heart with Design." Working with classmates Bridget Brennan, Alyssa Constino and Felicia Brown we came up with the idea of depicting each of RIT's college librarians as a superhero as a way to show them how much their dedication is appreciated by students. Each character is individualized to each librarian by having a name and or superpower that relates to their field of study or hobbies. We kept the project a secret until completion and then gave out the cards to eight very touched librarians at a mini reception in the library. Walking around campus after the project was over, I would notice the librarians still using their superhero identities, as business cards, door poster and even sign offs in emails!
