President Struppa of Chapman University was in need of a commemorative poster announcing the Keck Center for Science & Technology. My solution depicted a metaphorical representation of university students shooting for the stars, with the building acting as a skeleton that holds the program together. My poster was chosen as the winner of the IX Annual Commemorative Poster contest within Chapman University's Advanced Graphic Design class.
Students’ ideas are limitless, like space. Just like space is made up of millions of stars, students have an infinite amount of ideas throughout their lives. Like how some stars “work together” to form galaxies such as the Milky Way (pictured), students work together in Chapman’s collaborative learning environment to pursue their ideas.
Print production: Since my poster was chosen to represent the university and new science center, 900 posters were printed (including 100 signed/crimped limited editions), packaged, and handed out at the Chapman University 2018 State of the University Address. The yellow was printed as an embossed pantone color. See below for a behind the scenes look!
