UMASS BOSTON

Our team developed a comprehensive brand design system for the Applied Linguistics Department at UMASS Boston, creating a cohesive visual framework that supports their academic mission while allowing for departmental differentiation.

The brand guidelines include a modular system of symbolic elements, strategic color palettes, and typographic hierarchies integrated into master layout templates that ensure consistency across communications.

The design architecture establishes a unified departmental presence while visually distinguishing key academic focus areas: Science Instruction, Mathematics Instruction, Language with Technology, Teacher Parent Literacy, and Spotlight Project—enabling clear navigation and program recognition for students and faculty.
