Kick-off in 2017-2019
After major gift announcements, Central University Strategic Communications created a logomark and typeface for us to set the campaign a part and move forward with as the college communications team takes over.
After personal changes I stepped into work with the Dean and development team, and building architects in 2018 to bring a creative perspective, keep the momentum going, feedback on renderings, creating proposals and event materials.
In 2018, I designed the story in our 2018 print magazine that talked about the history of Stansbury on the riverfront and how this building campaign will transform the area and give it new life on campus.
I was able to explore using different typefaces that felt modern with an old style flair to them. I also had fun incorporating design elements that were reminiscent of old newspaper headlines with inspiration from the rail trail and trains that we still see on the other side of the river.
Fundraising and Event materials
From proposals and renderings to real-life building with students buzzing around. It was an incredible honor to be a part of such a large-scale project fueled by passionate faculty and staff and generous alumni and donors.
Social Media
Celebrating the gift announcements while also providing updates, information on the amenities and generating excitement leading up to the grand opening.
