Primary Concept

We used the University's bulldog mascot, Roebuck, in our materials to resonate with students, capture the campus community's attention, and foster a sense of connection. Building on Gardner-Webb's 'Runnin' Bulldogs' identity, we developed the concept 'Mask up, Dawgs' as the core message.

Overview

I led a two-person design team in creating and distributing collateral across campus to promote safe, health-focused practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, adapting to shifting priorities and tight deadlines to ensure timely implementation.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

My design team and I conducted a quick brainstorming session to generate ideas for visual materials aimed at guiding the campus community on COVID-19 safety measures.

INITIAL DESIGNS

We developed most of the initial designs within one day and had them printed and digitally distributed across campus within a week.

UPDATED DESIGNS

As the pandemic evolved, so did our messaging and even our mascot. After years of service to the University, Roebuck retired, and Bo became our new mascot. This transition provided an opportunity to refresh our COVID-19 materials and introduce new messaging, as directed by the University.
