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 year’s identity was based on friendship bracelets — 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.

Special thanks to Occupant Fonts for providing us with Occupant Oldstyle, and Li Huang for help with documentation.
