From concept development to client presentation, the two explored the program's name, tagline, visual identity, campaign materials, and how the brand could carry across donor communications and their website. Responding to client briefs, explaining the thinking behind their design decisions, and presenting their work professionally is exactly the kind of industry experience our students are ready for upon graduating. ๐
