RISD ORIENTATION 2024

Identity
Fall 2024

With Andrew Liu, Ash Ma, & Hannah Jeong @ RISD Design Guild. Special thanks to Li Huang for help with documentation.

Welcome to RISD, class of 2028! Each year, the RISD Design Guild works with the Center for Student Involvement (CSI) to create a fresh design system for New and International Student Orientation.

This yearโ€™s identity was based on friendship bracelets โ€” an activity rooted in collaboration and fun, and allowed for hosting interactive bracelet and craft making events where people could connect and create together. Graphically, it utilised a modular, bead-inspired combination of quirky type and colourful shapes. Typeset in Occupant Oldstyle and Work Sans.
