About the Project
On Sept. 30, 2021, the university held a commemoration ceremony to honor the legacy of former dean, Murry N. DePillars, Ph.D., and celebrate the naming of the fine arts building at 1000 W. Broad St. in his name.
The event highlighted DePillar’s role in growing the size and reputation of the School of the Arts during his nearly 20-year tenure as dean, and represents an ongoing commitment to recognize his contributions as an artist, art historian and educator.
I was responsible to design everything needed for the commemoration event, video contents, building banners, event design materials, exhibition label designs.
The design set that I developed was inspired from DePillars’ artworks. His bright cheerful colors and geometric patterns express his strong identity and personality.
I developed the graphical patterns that moves organically that can be applied to many different forms outside of his canvas.
