EDI Branding for Northwestern University
Northwestern University’s school of Engineering Design Innovation was looking for a fresh new look that captured the spirit of the creative maker mindset of their students and programming. I was tasked with coming up with a series of branding deliverables that relied on a clean aesthetic with modern patterns that also closely followed the existing Northwestern University visual brand style guides.
