So I came up with some design concepts for a shirt design contest for my university program back in first-year(which is also in my Behance portfolio), and I decided to revisit the design and try to upgrade it, since after all, iterative design is important. I had turned the following design into laptop stickers for my friends in the program, which had images related to "Global", "Business", "Digital", and "Arts".
Oh, how times have changed. While the design was satisfactory when I first created it (it came in second in the design contest), it was a really basic concept, and wasn't the best depiction of what the program entails. This time around, I wanted to expand the design, encorporating more of that the program is comprised of in order to paint a bigger picture.
The imagery is strong with this one:
-The campus building is included with the big architectural detail, which in itself was designed to look like pixels or a touchscreen phone. I added the Mac stand at the bottom to furter represent the "digital" side of our program, since the campuse has several Mac labs within it.
-The briefcase represents the "business" part of the program.
-The pen is meant to mimic the pen tool in illustrator, representing graphic design or "arts" side of the program. The pencil also represents the design aspect of the program.
-The film strip represents videography
-The touchscreen icon is meant to represent user experience design.
-The globe and plane represents the "global" aspect of the program title, as well as the exchange opportunity that we have in our program.
-The brackets <> are meant to represent the brackets when you work in HTML, meant to represent web development
-The flow chart is meant to represent a few things. It can be seen as iterative design, the input/output charts in project management, or storyboarding in videography
I hope that you enjoyed, and that you learned a little bit more about GBDA.
