The Solution
Deliver a new UCSC Arts Division visual identity appropriately designed for the new website with guidelines.
On the heels of hiring its first woman of color dean within the university—and with Dean Celine Parreñas Shimizu taking the lead—UC Santa Cruz Arts embarked upon developing a new visual identity which more aptly reflects the DNA of the organization, and a website refresh seeking to better address user needs, attract interest, and compel engagement.
