Overview The Alberini Speaker Series is supported by the Carlos and Andrea Alberini Family Foundation. This annual campus event brings various renowned innovators and thinkers in design to Davis students. With this opportunity, this event aims at inspiring and engaging students with various interests related to design.
Goal This years speaker was Jenny Sabin, a L. and Isabel B. Wiesenberger Professor in Architecture and the director of graduate studies in the Department of Architecture at Cornell University. While working with the design department, and closely with Professor Cogdell, I had the task of creating the 2019 Alberini Lecture Series posters. Along with graphic design elements, I was to promote the event through online social networking sites.
Outline We wanted to make sure to incorporate Jenny’s work in the poster. Therefore, her installation was chosen as the background of the poster due to its eye catching uniqueness. The main content such as the what, when, where, and time were the secondary crucial elements for the posters.
Outcome I had less than a month to create a poster for the 2019 series, and eventually, with time management, organization, and clear communication with my superior, I was able to submit two versions that were printed and displayed around campus. Approximately four hundred students, alumni, and faculty came to the event and heard Jenny Sabin speak.

Overview For this environmental graphic design course, I was able to take one of the newly built halls on campus and create a theme for it along with way-finding signage for the students. With the use of way-finding and other sources of guidance, this essentially would be a framework for visitors, professors, and students to better navigate through the hall.
Goal From logo making, to detailed step by step information on the production process of each sign, California Hall was made to be dedicated to the history of UC Davis.
Outline By incorporating the milestones that the university went through and meshing it with the bright colors that represent the golden state of California, the hall took on an intriguing and vintage theme that allows students and anyone who enters the chance to learn about this campus.
Outcome A collaboration between UC Davis’ rich history and a color palette to enhance the educational experience for visitors and students alike with way finding signs, structures, and design elements.
Here, we have the font family and the reasoning behind the logo.
Depending on the branding, there are different variations that the logo can have based on the chosen theme colors.
For each sign that would be placed either inside or outside the building, there are detailed specifications on the materials, measurements, and 360 view.
For the vocabulary sign types, we had the render of each way-finding sign, approximate measurements, as well as people for a better perspective on the size of each sign.
Included, are the realistic perspectives of how the signs would be implented and placed inside the building.
