Stage 1: Research & Concept Development
Stage 1: Research & Concept Development
Before beginning each design, I researched relevant seasonal themes and gathered inspiration. My main considerations included:
• University branding – Ensuring consistency with HPU’s colors and typography.
• Emotional impact – Creating designs that resonated with students and faculty.
• Engagement – Designing visually compelling walls that encouraged interaction and photography.
For the December Wall, I focused on winter elements like snowflakes and cool-toned colors. The 100-Year Anniversary Wall needed to be sophisticated and celebratory, incorporating HPU’s history. The New January Wall aimed to feel fresh and motivational, using bold typography. The Gratitude Wall was inspired by autumn leaves and warm tones to evoke a sense of thankfulness.

Stage 2: Design & Iteration
Stage 2: Design & Iteration
Using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, I developed initial concepts and refined them based on feedback. The design process included:
• Sketching layouts to determine composition and typography.
• Selecting color palettes that matched the theme while aligning with HPU’s brand.
• Incorporating graphic elements such as snowflakes, gold accents, motivational text, and seasonal imagery.
• Adjusting scale and resolution to ensure clarity on a large-format wall print.
After multiple iterations, I finalized each design and prepared them for print production.

Stage 3: Final Production & Installation
Stage 3: Final Production & Installation
Once the designs were approved, they were sent for large-format printing and installed on the Slane Wall. This required precise file preparation to ensure:
• High-resolution output for crisp visuals.
• Proper color calibration to match the intended design.
• Correct print dimensions to fit the physical display seamlessly.
After installation, I reviewed each wall on-site to confirm quality and alignment.
