What is Show LTU CoAD?

Show LTU CoAD is the annual senior exhibition for Lawrence Technological University's College of Architecture and Design. This showcase highlights the final projects of graduating students across programs like Architecture, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Industrial Design, and more. It's a celebration of creativity, innovation, and the future of design.

For this project, we were tasked with developing a design proposal for the upcoming 2025 Show. Our goal was to create a cohesive branding system that captures the spirit of the exhibition while effectively supporting its purpose and message.
