Welcome RISD class of 2027!

Each year, we work with RISD CSI to create a fresh design system for New and International Student Orientation. This year we explored a generative design system using 15x15 grids. Students and orientation leaders decorated the empty grids on their shirts and tote bags with pixel art to create their own personal, unique orientation experience. We also designed custom glyphs for temporary tattoos, stickers, and icons. The RISD campus blossomed with pixel flowers, fruits, ducks, fish, hearts, and so much more to welcome the class of 2027!

Ships have sailed, planes have departed!

Together with RISD CSI, Design Guild presents the 2023 RISD Yearbook with three books in one: [NO.1] faculty Interviews, [NO.2] student photos, and [NO.3] campus documentation. Pages decorated with custom-made stamps, designed in the fashion of travel documents, lay out people, memories, and words to record each student’s own personal history at RISD and their departure to future destinations.
