The Challenge

The design process for Studio 6 wasa collaboration between 12 students(Illustrators and Graphic Designers)and one faculty member.

The development of the exhibition identity took place over the course of the Spring ‘22 semester, where students applied their collaborative research, experimentation, and explorations into a singular cohesive identity system that uniquely represented Otis College of Art &Design’s Communication Arts Class of 2022.

The structure is simple. An array of custom-drawn letterforms for the letters S, T, U, D, I, O, 6, can be combined in infinite ways, forming the primary visual expression on all Studio 6 applications. The color palette consists of 4 unique hues in specific combinations of contrast. And the supporting text, set in WorkSans, does exactly that—it works to support the energy and excitement of the largely-set letterforms that move, play, and dance amongst the pages, screens, and walls.
