As a part of my Graphic Design curriculum at Notre Dame, I had the opportunity to take Graphic Design 4 with visiting professor Paula Bodnar, where the class would function as a design agency.

It was awesome.

We had two clients for the semester. The first was the South Bend Museum of Art, who wished to update their branding to the 21st century. Our class had an informal design-off, and then the client would pick their favorite. Here were the two I presented, both based on the unique building where the museum is housed, the Century Center. 

Logo #1, which finished second in the competition, is based on the front of the Century Center.

Logo #2 is based on the back side of the Century Center, which overlooks the St. Joseph River.
