BLANK CENTER
25th ANNIVERSARY
2023 marks the 25th Anniversary of the Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship at Babson College. In celebration on October 24th there was a full day of festivities, all of which needed a touch of design. Pairing with the Blank Center team an identity was made for the event.
Award Winning!
This project was a winner in the GDUSA’s 60th anniversary American Graphic Design Awards™. It is their flagship contest open to everyone in the community and it honors outstanding work — end-of-year, best-of-year — of all kinds across all media. Out of over 8,000 applicants the top 10% are selected as winners.
EVENT PROGRAM
Our goal was to produce an elevated dinner program that guest would want to save as a keepsake. For a high production value we chose an elegant textured paper and foiled cover. The interior pages all kept a scrapbook theme covering the highlights of the past 25 years, adding a playful element to the identity.
SAVE THE DATE!
This card set the tone for the rest of the event. The Blank Center building line art became a major design element throughout many of the materials. Whenever I was designing a new item I would refer back to this design for inspiration and ideas on how to push the identify.
