Using a historic protest poster-inspired aesthetic, we explore the modern LGBTQ+ civil rights movement, from its birthplace at Stonewall in 1969.
In response to the surge in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, Director Natalie Labarre and Designer Christy Lundy embarked on a reflective journey through the sociopolitical struggles and triumphs of the Pride movement.
The duo crafted a unique aesthetic inspired by handmade protest posters that seamlessly blends graphic language with cinematic elements.
Distinct color palettes and textures specific to each decade serve as visual cues of each era.
The message "We Won't Go Back" drew inspiration from documented signs wielded in the ongoing fight for equality.
Within Hornet, a vibrant community of LGBTQ+ individuals and allies collaborates across all levels and departments, contributing to the collective strength and creativity of the team.
