👏👏👏 Hey, hey!! Can we get a round of applause for environmental graphic design?! 👏👏👏
It isn’t often that I get the opportunity to take my graphic design work off the screen and into the built environments we create at Ackerman-Estvold, but MSU’s new Beaver Dam remodel gave me that chance!
As part of the new Student Center our architecture and interior design team, along with the folks at MSU, envisioned a unique feature celebrating 113 years of campus life: a large-scale mural of former students and moments from MSU’s history.
Thanks to MSU’s Rick Heit for coordinating and helping provide the incredible library of historic images that made this possible.
In terms of sheer physical scale, this is probably the largest graphic design project I’ve worked on, and it’s pretty darn fun to see something designed on my computer come to life at this size. 😊
A little graphic design + architecture + interior design + history, all coming together in one space. I love when the disciplines get to overlap!
(This project was created for MSU as an employee of Ackerman-Estvold. For those that aren't aware...that's my full-time gig.😊)
