Think Play Create 

The Graphic Design department at College for Creative Studies came to the team of 8 asking for the story of our department to be told in a new way, internally and externally. The public does not always know everything we are doing in the department, so we came up with a system that spans from the walls inside our building to the web and even to the physical for high school students to interact with. The basis of the system consisted of a giant interactive screen by the gesture, where you can move through the student body of work. The next was many other little interactions on the floor that it translated across including window projections and conditional design. Externally we developed a website and a maker box which consisted of current and alumni work and a way to interact with high school students to get them making things. It even included a makey makey go to jumpstart the technology. I specifically worked on internal communications, UI/UX of projection wall, window projections, and visual cues throughout space

 “CCS Graphic Design Maker Kit”. This kit would be given to the recruiters and advisors of CCS who would give them to high school students to show them a little of what we do and what the culture is like in the CCS Graphic Design department. The kit includes many elements ranging from photos of students and their work to a Makey Makey Go. The purpose of the range of parts was to emphasize the slogan, “we don’t just make things look nice, we make things do stuff!”
