Cultural Center Mural
Cultural Center Mural
Student Government and the Multicultural Student Center held a university-wide call for submissions for a student art contest. The winning design was printed as a mural and is on display in the UCF Student Union. This piece was a collaboration between myself and a graphic design alumni, Julia Thomas. My specific contributions were the lettering and imagery within the letters. I drew inspiration from the murals that were in my elementary school, which always showed people in colorful environments. I always thought artwork like that improved the environment, and this project seemed like a good opportunity to design something similar to that which inspired me as a kid. I knew the artwork would be visible from outside the room, so making it pop was important to me since I wanted the design to be legible and visible from far away.

I created these as part of entries to an art competition that was accepting designs for curb inlet stickers. The Arboretum and UCF's Utilities and Engineering Services lead the initiative, and I submitted these designs and won 🎉
The contest encouraged the use of mascots, so it was an exciting to be able to use Knightro and the Pegasus for the artwork. Also, having worked in the Office of Student Involvement, I was familiar with branding guidelines, which was a requirement that if not met, the art would be subject to typeface and color changes. I felt like I could submit a design that met the requirements while still looking like work of my own. Character-work has always been enjoyable to me, and this is a project I'm proud of because I get to see the artwork regularly in my day to day.
Project facts:
- There will be 200 stickers installed around campus in total
- The installation may take up to 6 months to a year
