Let the walls tell a little of the story.

A place with a past

A visitor can see a restored building without knowing what it has meant to a town. This timeline makes that context part of the visit, bringing archival imagery, key dates, and the story of renewal into a single wall graphic.

the case study

What was
in motion.

Mustard Seed Hill needed a way to carry a long and layered history into a physical space. The source material spans the town’s origins, its schools and military academy, and Community Ventures’ restoration of the campus.

The decisions that shaped it.

01

Build a readable sequence

Arrange milestones chronologically so visitors can follow the place through different eras.

02

Keep the archive recognizable

Pair dates with historical images and concise explanations; review image quality with the integrity of the original material in mind.

03

Design for the wall

Use a continuous, large-format composition with alternating milestones and the existing Mustard Seed Hill identity.

What the work included.

  • Historical content and image coordination
  • Chronological editorial structure
  • Large-format timeline design
  • Final flat PDF artwork
