College – especially for students in the arts – is about taking bold leaps in specific disciplines. We brought that creative energy to the fore to position Cornish as a qualified and passionate arts education provider.
Central to the project was maintaining a relationship with the Cornish brand palette, and mixing compelling visual styles with essential information highlighting the unique strengths of each program.
This committed leave-behind met a need to boldly show a consistent level of strength and support across each of the school’s disciplines. For prospective students it was important to balance a sense of safety and inclusivity, and also demonstrate the way Cornish celebrates experimentation and curiosity.
