Picture

SOLUTION

Created a strong, memorable, visual graphic which resonated with the general audience and created a personal connection for the attendees involved  (university students, faculty and, staff) with the event. 

Visual created was flexible for various uses:
  • An electronic 'save the date' postcard
  • A hard-copy 'invitation' (two-sided) postcard mailer/ (one-sided) electronic version
  • The symposium program book cover
  • Symposium event signage

Picture
*Connection to visual achieved by approaching it as a
'keepsake'
considering time devoted to the projects from students, faculty, and staff.
