This illustration is a pictorial narrative based on a Chumash legend titled, “The Rainbow Bridge.” In the story, the Chumash people walked across the Rainbow Bridge in search of greater opportunities. The rainbow in the design represents a new pathway toward the numerous opportunities that higher education offers.
I used the majors as the basis for building the university structure, ultimately shaping the Bell Tower. This foundation is eventually solidified as students choose their respective majors. The subtle shapes and textures in the dolphin and landscape incorporate some artistic styles that were prevalent in Chumash cave drawings. I wanted this illustration to show how the story parallels students’ progress throughout their university lives.
