ANNUAL REPORTUnion Settlement Association

1

Founded in 1895, Union Settlement Association is the oldest and largest social service agency in East Harlem. Our programs foster leadership and self-su� ciency by helping our neighbors build better lives for themselves and their families. We reach more than 13,000 people each year with e� ective programs in education, childcare, youth development, senior ser-vices, and mental health. In addition, we bring public health resources, job training, arts programs and community development support to East Harlem. Our services are more than the sum of their parts: taken together, Union Settlement o� ers the support of an extended family and a lifeline to our community.

EAST HARLEM:HOME TO MANY OF THE NEEDIEST NEW YORKERS•74% of east Harlem children are born into poverty

•45% of residents receive some kind of public assistance

•East Harlem has highest rate of pediatric asthma in new York City

•Adult unemployment is 17%, twice the rate of Manhattan

•17% of adults 25 and older did not complete 8th grade, another 16% did not graduate from high school, and only 14% have graduated from college

•32% of east Harlem residents over 65 receivefood stamps

•55% of rental units in east Harlem are subsidized

FROM THE EXECUTIVEDIRECTOR

When you turn to the next two pages in this re-port, you will see a timeline of the history of Union Settlement’s work here in East Harlem. It starts with our founding by Union Theological Semi-nary alumni in 1895, and continues through more than a century of accomplishments. Indeed, our history of service to the East Harlem community was recently acknowledged when New York City re-named East 104th Street between Second and Third Avenues – where Union Settlement’s main headquarters have been since 1895 – as “Union Settlement Way.”

Throughout our history, Union Settlement has been a pillar of strength for East Harlem families, especially during periods of � nancial downturns. Unfortunately, the current economic statistics are bleaker than they have been in decades. About 20% of New York residents – 1.6 million individuals – and 30% of our children live below the poverty lev-el. And those are city-wide numbers, so the statistics in East Harlem clearly are much worse.

As we have in the past, Union Settlement con-tinues to provide vital assistance to those in need during these di� cult times. Each day, Union Set-tlement allows hundreds of East Harlem parents to seek and maintain employment by providing child care and after-school educational services for their children. We help high school students prepare for college and the world of work, o� er English literacy and citizenship classes to recent immigrants, and provide GED classes to those who never complet-ed high school but seek a diploma to improve their job prospects. We provide counseling to both adults and children struggling to overcome the emotion-al challenges they face; o� er � nancial services to thousands of local residents and businesses striving to succeed; and provide life- enhancing activities

and meals to hundreds of seniors. And so much more.

This is the core of our mission – pro-viding essential services and programs to the hard-working residents of East Har-lem, thereby allowing them to build better lives for themselves and their families. This has been, and always will be, the “Union Settlement Way.”

We hope that you enjoy reading about our work in the pages that follow. It is your support that makes all of this possible. Thank you so much.

Maxine L. Rocko� Executive Director

SENIORS

José and Egda constante have been married for 61 years and have seven children. They immigrated to the United States from Ecuador 42 years ago and have lived in East Harlem ever since. José worked as a chef for many years and when the business moved he joined the Parks Department as a caretaker in local parks.

Now, José and Egda spend most weekdays to-gether at Union Settlement’s lively Je� erson Senior Center.

“We made so many friends here,” says José. Egda agrees, “My friends are here.”

They participate in many of the activities from sharing lunch with their friends, to celebrating birthdays and holidays. They attend parties and love to dance. Egda takes part in games and volunteer activities and José likes to play domi-nos. They also use the transportation services to go shopping and enjoy trips to Atlantic City and Heckscher State Park. “We come every day,” ex-plains José. The center is the focus of their social lives and where they feel comfortable. “We come to have a good time,” notes Egda. “We have fun and the day goes by quickly while we are here.”

12 The Fundamentals of Graphic Design

The evolution of graphic design

Graphic design developed from the printing andpublishing industry, with the term itself fi rst used in

the 1950s. At that time there was a clear demarcationwithin the different stages of the print productionprocess, with specialist professionals or tradesperforming each one. These stages involved printers,scanners, photographic reproduction, graphic design,typesetters, print buyers, fi lm, proofreaders andproduction managers.

The consumer economy that emerged in thewestern world following the Second World Warbrought with it the emergence of bright and attractivepackaging as competition between productsintensifi ed. The number of magazines also began toincrease, resulting in greater demand for visuallyappealing designs. These coincided withdevelopments in print technology and opened up newproduction possibilities that designers were wellplaced to take advantage of. The success of graphicdesign helped to make it even more indispensable.

As the power of colourful visual communicationbecame widely appreciated, graphic design grewfrom the need to provide visual communication tothe consumer world and spread throughout differentsectors of the economy, while continuing to harnessthe technological developments that progressbrought forth.

Technological development, particularly in thedigital age, has revolutionised and rationalisedthe processes of print production. Trades such as

typesetting and artwork preparation have becomeobsolete, as they can now be performed by adesigner. As a consequence, graphic design hasdeveloped into a multifunctional role that sees thedesigner playing a pivotal role in the productionprocess. This demands great versatility and theneed to communicate effectively with manydifferent professionals. In the past, designerswould have undertaken all aspects of a job fromthe generation of ideas to hand-drawing type forheadings and layout.

What is graphic design? 13

What is graphic design?Graphic design is a creative visual arts discipline that encompasses many areas.

It may include art direction, typography, page layout, information technology and other creative aspects.This variety means that there is a fragmented landscape for design practice within which designers may specialise and focus.

Technological development has placeddesigners at the heart of the creative process.Often, a graphic designer manages the designprocess and coordinates the work undertaken byother creative disciplines as part of a job. As such,the scope of a designer’s responsibilities nowincludes print buying, website programming,photography, page layout, materials selection,art direction, freehand illustration, computergeneratedillustration (CGI), project management,client account management, storyboarding,editing and pre-press production.

Monza 1948 (far left)Max Huber designed thisposter to advertise motorracing at Monza, Italy in1948. It incorporates variouselements, such as typography,imagery and colour, topresent the concept of motorracing. Although no car ispictured, the design capturesthe essence of speed andcompetition through the useof coloured arrows andangled, diminishing type.

Revolutions (left)Pictured is a poster createdby 3 Deep Design that hassimilarities to the adjacentMonza poster, made in thepre-computer age, despitethe fact that they werecreated using differenttechnology. Both featuretype and images that tell amessage and create visualimpact. Technology may alterhow designs are created andproduced, but good designalways goes beyond this viathe effective application ofdesign principles.
