A modern take on the spirograph, the logo and the book design blend the best aspects of analog and digital technology to create a strong visual. The book is printed on Lettra Paper which adds vivid color and a tactile element to the design. This book was inspired by the logo created by Julia Radke for the Lab.
The UCO School of Design has set its sights on becoming a top 20 Design School. Facilities are our critical need.
Several years ago, the University of Central Oklahoma purchased the St. Mary’s Episcopal Church and School just across from the main campus on University Drive. The building meets the physical needs of the School of Design and allows the School to have students, faculty, and equipment all in a single facility. The new School of Design will house classroom space, critique space, faculty offices, a maker-space, a print center, photography studios, an outdoor courtyard, a supply store, and a design gallery.
The building requires life safety renovation for occupancy at a total cost of 3.2 million. The College of Fine Arts and Design and the University of Central Oklahoma has pledged 2.1 million toward the restoration.
We need to raise 1.1 million; Make Ready, the Case for UCO Design represents our fundraising request for this critical campaign.
