Glorifying Gert Town

This video analyzes the neighborhood of Gert Town, Louisiana and discusses the possibility of implementing an arts district into the community.  It follows a fictional character named Frank and his process through designing the masterplan.  The arts district utilizes neighboring schools such as Xavier University and St. Mary’s High School by encouraging clubs and disciplines to come teach about what they are studying.

From here, more analysis of Gert Town must be done in order to understand the culture of the community.  Taking a deeper dive into who the residents are and what they do for a living will produce solutions that are better catered to Gert Town.

Process work shown below relays the different story board iterations and thought processess that were exercised.
