For this project, I was tasked with designing two event covers for the CUNY NYCCT 85th Commencements and Academic Excellence Awards. This opportunity began with a client meeting, where I gained a clear understanding of the client’s vision and specific requirements for each cover.
Over the course of a few weeks, I developed two polished designs, complete with professional mockups to showcase their real-world application. The final pieces were tailored to meet the client’s expectations, balancing creativity and formality to represent the spirit of the events. This experience not only refined my skills in concept development and execution but also emphasized the value of delivering high-quality work within deadlines.
These are early iterations of my final designs, where I explored various fonts and design elements to achieve the desired visual impact.
One of the challenges was the "Centered" 85 maze, because half of the design was on the front cover and the other half was on the back, so user should check the whole cover to get the idea of the maze. that was one of the problem because its better to make it all appear in the front cover so it communicates the idea of the maze better.
The final designs balance creativity and functionality, addressing challenges like the "Centered" 85 maze by placing it entirely on the front cover for clarity. For the Academic Excellence cover, I adjusted the colors to a darker blue to convey a more serious tone, reflecting the event's higher significance. Both covers feature refined typography and cohesive elements, effectively capturing the essence of the events.
