For incoming UT students (and their parents), we produced this guide to on-campus housing. It’s one part packing list, one part residence hall handbook, one part guide to surviving freshman year.
-
The brochure cover was a pop-art montage of two client-supplied photos: the iconic UT Tower and a snapshot of two residence hall denizens peeking out from behind their door.
-
The design, typography, and color palette were chosen to appeal to incoming students. A fold-out front cover map helps in-bound freshmen find their way to residence hall check-in.
-
The book uses snapshots from the client in combination with custom illustrations and symbols in order to adhere to a modest production budget.
-
The second half of the publication includes an alphabetical list of rules and policies for on-campus residents.
-
To supplement the required text, we developed additional content to help freshman get through their first year away from home. Here, budget-minded fun and a lesson on doing laundry.
-
We polled former UT students and current RAs to create content for items including the "Best Study Spots on Campus."
-
The final spread includes information about making the most of living in Austin, one of America's best college settings.
