YOUNG SPIRO & MINNIE

Young Spiro and Minnie are two cartoon versions of the university's mascots, the Spartan and Minerva. Initially, Minnie was created as a chatbot icon. Due to its popularity, Young Spiro was additionally developed, and the two characters became the official university cartoon characters for student-facing, light-hearted engagements. The characters have been used in social media graphics, gifs, t-shirt designs, and signage. The animated stickers of the characters have been generated 29.6 million views with other gifs in UNCG's Giphy account. Also, the characters have been utilized to promote safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESEARCH MAGAZINE

As Senior Designer of UNCG Research Magazine, I communicated with an editor, art director, researchers, and writers to design the magazine spreads. I chose photographs or create visuals that best represent the given narrative in both print and online formats. I assisted the editor to build the Research Magazine website.

The designer does not own the copyright to photos displayed in the magazine spreads. All the credit goes to the original creator.

UNCG BRANDED VISUAL ASSETS

UNCG University Communications convey the university’s values and messages through various creative tasks. I produced a wide variety of visual assets such as billboards, posters, signages, social media/email/web graphics, photographs, gifs, t-shirt designs, and short animations. Our team enhanced the school's brand by providing resources to other departments while overseeing the suitable utilization of brand assets.

MOSS STREET PARTNERSHIP SCHOOL
MASCOT & BROCHURE

The Moss Street Partnership School is a collaboration between UNC Greensboro, Rockingham County Schools, and the Moss Street community. The school's mascot, Kid Spartan, symbolizes courage, self-discipline, and good citizenship. The brochure was created as a promotional piece to recruit new students.
