College of Science Planner

Roles

  • Cover Design
  • Layout Design
  • Copy Editing

The annual student planner for OSU's College of Science — cover design plus the organization of dates, events, imagery, and copy into a clean tool 5,000 students relied on.

The College of Science (COS) at Oregon State publishes an annual planner for students. My role was to design the cover and reorganize dates, events, images, and copy provided by our writers — creating a design that both engages students and reinforces the COS brand.

Planner cover sketches

In collaboration with the COS marketing team and our art director, I designed the cover to combine Oregon's landscapes with scientific imagery — aligning with the College's mission and initiatives like 'TEAM SCIENCE' and 'Learn by Doing.'

With a tight print deadline and a goal of 5,000 flawless copies, precision was essential. We met the deadline and consistently received praise for the new planner.
