Abstract

This design is part of a mural design proposed for the APSC entrance foyer as a part of A320 Graphic Design: Process & Theory, Fall 2012. It is a mural about WOU culture, a journey, pointing to the future and storing the hope. The whole campus is a natural environment, covered by flowers and plants, so a rose was selected for the center of the design. The main red line represents intention and guidance, the grid represents a web and connects the icons together, illustrating a rigorous attitude toward education. A butterfly is used as a metaphor for the beauty of the campus, our colorful lives, freedom, and hope. The wolf is a part of WOU culture, symbolic of power and sports. A tree and plant remind us of the natural environment, fresh air of campus and the growth of WOU students.

Description

The whole mural design is a balanced combination of modern and classic, serif and abstract sharp shapes.
