Assignment directions
What to do
Build one clear concept, explain your choices, and submit the downloaded image in Canvas.
Choose a message
Decide what your design should communicate about SQUAD and the Class of 2027.
Build and check
Select colors, wording, placement, and optional original artwork. Check that everything is readable.
Explain and submit
Explain your design choices, download the PNG, and upload that file to Canvas.
Design support
Make it wearable.
A strong concept is recognizable from a distance, works in a limited color palette, and represents more than one individual.
Keep it readable
Use short wording, strong contrast, and one clear focal point. If the design is hard to read on the preview, simplify it.
Connect it to SQUAD
Possible starting points include the tiger, SQUAD values, the Class of 2027, shared experiences, or a phrase that represents the cohort.
Explain your choices
Name what the colors, symbols, words, and placement mean. Example: “The four claw marks represent our four years together in SQUAD.”
The downloaded file includes both the front and back plus your explanation.
