Honors College Package

Client WSU Honors College
Category Print, Identity Package

Responsibilities

  • Designed initial concept (folder, search piece and flyer)
  • Worked with design team to produce final pieces and the identity guidelines
  • Created the 4 brochures and saw them through completion

Clients Goals

  • A recruitment package that was flexible for incorporating different elements depending on the students interest
  • Use existing logo and colors burgundy and cream as primary with the other university colors as secondary
  • Wanted the pieces to feel special, individual attention and reflect the program

Personal Goals

  • I wanted to use the logo as a main inspiration
  • I wanted the program to appear collegiate, fancier and more formal than general university publications because the students in this program are very elite and competitive

Design Notes

  • The folder is simple nice heavy stock with the logo raised off of it as the dominant design element
  • The presentation of the materials with in the folder was also important (I did not want the search piece which is not very tall to get lost in a pocket) so the search piece and business card have a notched location to hold them in place
  • The search piece has the logo die cut from the front and caries the 4 concepts form the logo into the design as each year focuses on one of the four concepts
  • The brochures and poster feature large images of students actually working or engaging in the subject of the piece (medicine, pharmacy ect). The program specializes in jumpstarting a student in that program and this is reflected in the imagery
  • Colors used are part of the extended university Identity system and each program gets it s own color for easy identification (for the college staff) yet the burgundy of the program stayed dominate
