Award Winning Kanbar Selects, volume 1

Turning Raw Student Innovation Into a Premium Print Statement.

I co-designed this premium, curated publication to showcase the most innovative capstone and industry-sponsored projects from the Kanbar College of Design, Engineering and Commerce at Philadelphia University. Working within a multi-disciplinary design team, our challenge was to build a sophisticated editorial framework that could seamlessly bridge the gap between academic brilliance and professional industry standards, packaging complex, student-led breakthroughs into a cohesive print experience. To achieve this, we had to solve a major content problem: housing vastly different visual assets—ranging from technical engineering schematics and data-heavy business models to high-fashion photography and industrial design renders—under a single aesthetic roof. We engineered a flexible grid system and a commanding typographic hierarchy that successfully unified these diverse disciplines, giving every project room to breathe while maintaining a consistent, authoritative brand voice that establishes a strong visual legacy for the university's premier programs.
