CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS SHOWS 2023


A dynamic generative identity for the University of the Arts London: Central Saint Martins Graduate Showcase identity for 2023 graduates





In addition to working on my practice, I’ve also had the privilege to work on the identity design for my own Graduate showcase for Central Saint Martins alongside some of my friends. The resulting design is a multiple medium-spanning project consisting of website design, physical print design, social media, and wayfinding design. The design itself is a simple kinetic typography piece against a solid colour background, displaying the characters ‘CSM SHOWS 2023’ interacting with each other in unique and unexpected ways. For us, the simplicity of the design allowed us to fully embody the emotions and characters of CSM

graduates through the way the characters interacted with each other and how the deign interacted within its space, be in in the physical world or in the digital space. It has in turn, been seen by over 33,000 people over the course of one week, and invitiations with our design having been sent to over 20,000 people and industry members.

+ABOUT THE PROJECT



“Big block logotype, three colourways, dynamic characters that bounce, jumble and stack and a wayfinding system that plays with angles, branding the Central Saint Martins Granary building with the same bold and playful spirit ”
Cat Cooper, 2023
