All our student teams in the zone working to create new designs for @mydiscoveru. DiscoverU is a non-profit located in Houston, Texas, making this our first national, remote client! Can’t wait to share their final work in a couple weeks. Stay tuned! #thisisou
Last client presentation of the semester with @wishuponateen. Their mission to make a difference in the lives of teens with severe life-limiting medical conditions really resonated with the students, making the design process especially important to all the teams. We are looking forward to seeing which team’s designs they move forward with for their Design My Room program. While they decide, we will be posting samples from each group throughout the next week. Go learn, follow, donate and support @wishuponateen!
New logo and branding proposal for @shakespeareindetroit by @oaklandu students Jeanette Handy, Ciara Janay and Ali Muhajab. The group developed a new logo that works with a system of branded graphics that focuses on Shakespeare in Detroit producing site specific performances and's vision of being the "Shakespeare organization of the city" while also reaching a new audience of language speakers. The new branding uses bold typography, consistency across materials and a minimal color palette to develop brand recognition. Slide through to see a social media post advertising a future performance and how the branded graphics can reach a Spanish speaking audience in the form of a post card. Would you choose this for the rebranded identity? Why or why not?

Slide through to see promotional mock-ups and membership level icons. Would you choose this for the rebranded identity? Why or why not?
