IAPD 50th Anniversary Celebration - Spring 2015

As we prepare for our 50th Anniversary celebration, we wish to bring together students, alumni, and friends to envision a brand mark that embodies Interior Architecture & Product Design - where we have been and where we are going!

What:

  • Work in teams to design the brand mark and thematic overlay for our 50th Anniversary celebration.  The design will be used for Save the Date cards, Invitations, digital media, etc.; as well as printing on a variety of merchandise from T-shirts and aprons to cups, the heading for posters and other printed materials.

Who:

  • Current students, alumni, and friends of IAPD.

The Process:

  • We need you to send an email indicating your interest in participating to IAPD@ksu.edu.  Alumni, be sure to include the year you graduated.
  • You may request a pairing, or we will team up alumni with present students to work together on the graphic submission.
  • Judging will occur by a highly qualified team of individuals and the winners will be awarded a cash prize! All of the submissions will show up in some way during our celebration.

When:

Entries Due:

  • 5:00 PM September 1, 2014.

Details and design parameters for the collaboration will be sent out at the time the teams are announced.
