Growing up surrounded by diverse forms of art shaped her perspective and\nsparked her passion for design. Attending an arts-focused high school became a pivotal\nexperience, solidifying her commitment to pursuing a creative career where I could fully\nexpress myself. With a love for Print design, Creative Web development, Creative game\ndevelopment design and publication design, I draw inspiration from Black history and\nculture, feminist art and activism, and media representation. My work centers on visual\nstorytelling and creating designs that spark meaningful conversations. I believe design\nhas the power to shape how we feel, how we connect, and how we understand the\nworld around us.\n<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"btl-project\">\n      <h1 class=\"btl-project-title\">The Case of Double Consciousness<\/h1>\n      <p class=\"btl-project-statement\"> The Case of Double Consciousness is inspired by the concept of\ndouble consciousness, as theorized by W.E.B. Du Bois, an African American\nsociologist, historian, writer, and civil rights activist. He first introduced the idea in his\n1903 book The Souls of Black Folk. Du Bois described double consciousness as the\ninternal conflict experienced by Black Americans who must reconcile their own\nself-perception with how they are viewed by a society that devalues them. A sense of\n\u201ctwo-ness,\u201d being both Black and American.\n<br><br>\nThis project takes the form of a 3D psychological horror game that examines identity,\ninner conflict, and split perception. In Double Consciousness, players are placed inside\na world shaped by the mind. As they move through the environment, they must navigate\na negative voice representing societal doubt while staying true to their own identity. The\ngameplay, environment, and narrative are designed to evoke feelings of disorientation,\nanxiety, and introspection that come with experiencing dual or multiple perspectives.\nThrough this experience, the game aims to give players insight into the mental and\nemotional challenges of navigating dual identities while exploring how design and\ninteractivity can communicate complex psychological and sociocultural ideas.\n<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n<footer class=\"btl-footer\">\n    <div class=\"btl-footer-col\">\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-site\">BETWEEN THE LINES<\/p>\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-muted\">USFCA Design &#038; Fine Arts<\/p>\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-muted\">Class of 2026<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"btl-footer-col\">\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-heading\">Design<\/p>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/usfcadesign\/\">Instagram<\/a>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/usfca.design\">Past Exhibitions<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"btl-footer-col\">\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-heading\">Fine Arts<\/p>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/usfcafinearts\/\">Instagram<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"btl-footer-col\">\n      <p class=\"btl-footer-heading\">Information<\/p>\n      <a href=\"\/2026\/information\">Information<\/a>\n      <a href=\"\/2026\/exhibition\">Exhibition<\/a>\n      <a href=\"\/2026\/directory\">Directory<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/footer>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exhibition Information Directory ANIJAH MCLAURIN Pronouns: she\/her Major: Design anijahmclaurin.site Anijah McLaurin is a multidisciplinary designer and Washington, D.C. native.
