Instead we used an off-white / soft beige to make the experience more comfortable.” Moreover, the studio stuck to three web templates throughout the site. But, “crucially,” they expand, “these are not actually white on black, because the combination is actually hard to engage with for some users with accessibility needs. Leading with a “simple but striking colour palette”, Cecilia explains that the studio landed on a limited contrast of two colours. Approaching the project, creative director Cecilia Righini explains that the overarching concept would be “clean and minimal” so as to ensure focus on the posters.

To realise such an innovative and ambitious project, some pretty impressive and considered website design was going to be necessary, and One Archives Foundation enlisted Studio Lutalica, the Edinburgh-based design agency centred around queer and feminist design. “This interface between the self and the objects held in archives serves as an interpretive force in transmitting knowledge,” Umi explains, “thereby queering the mode in which graphic design is displayed, which is so often wall-bound.” This secondary source interpretation was masterminded by Andy, who came up with the idea of filming overhead the hands of community activists and designers while storytelling. Platforming posters curated and recently digitised by One National Gay and Lesbian Archives at the USC Libraries, Umi explains: “We wanted to lean into the flexible ways in which visual content can be displayed, contextualised with didactic text, and paired with storytelling video content.” So, they imagined the website as a “hub” where primary material can be “experienced, felt and enriched by secondary source interpretive content”. With the onset of covid-19, Umi and Andy had to revisit the project, instead exploring ways of translating it online.

And, importantly, after a number of conversations, the pair also decided that they wanted queer design to “not only be the subject matter”, but “also be embodied in the design of the project”. Umi approached Andy, the author of Queer x Design, wanting to create a project “about queer design that exemplifies the spirit of queer design”. Days of Rage is a pertinent and expertly crafted online exhibition, born out of a conversation between Umi Hsu, director of content strategy of One Archives Foundation, and curator Andy Campbell.
