The Seattle Jewish Community School brought new life to its way of validating community service projects with this fun and unique living sculpture. Growing with each benevolent deed, this quaint embodiment of the center’s mission grabs the attention and cleverly reminds students, teachers, and visitors of the vital importance of charity. Infinitely more eye-catching than brass plates stuck to mundane wooden plaques, the interactive nature of the caterpillar ensures that any generosity will never go unnoticed or uncelebrated.

WexArts Brochure

The Wexner Center is as a research laboratory for the arts. The center offers a plethora of entertaining and educational public programs. The community enjoys Teen Arts Fusion each summer. Teens naturally relate to contemporary art. Both are actively challenging boundaries, exploring identity, and grappling with the tough questions no on else has the courage to ask. Many classes emphasize cutting-edge technology. Others focus on innovative interdisciplinary approaches.

We designed a playful brochure to attract new students. The use of two ink colors mix together to create vibrant summer colors with a non-profit budget. The graphics communicate summertime fun with a digital edge. The eye-catching brochure encourages teens to explore new landscapes of creativity.

International Design Exchange

Mindi — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:36:19 +0000

The design department at Ohio State values the interwoven experience of design and culture. For over forty years the design faculty has nourished partnerships with universities in Europe and South America. The Design Exchange program encourages students from foreign universities to study at Ohio State, and offers Ohio State students the opportunity to study abroad. This interchange builds an array of perspectives in and out of the studio.

We created an interactive traveling exhibit and identity design. The students collaborate to assemble the puzzle-like exhibit. While assembling the boxes and exploring how the graphics correspond the students learn about the design culture and classes available at Ohio State. The universal arrow symbol in the identity emphasizes the program’s reciprocal nature. The Design Exchange stresses the importance for students to think beyond their cultural borders in order to design for diverse audiences.
