UIC Summer Session Brochure




During the summer, I saw a stack of these brochures where I work at UIUC. I didn't pick them up at first, but they did catch my eye because they were just so bright and the typography was so appealing, especially compared to the other posters and fliers there. Have you seen ads in science/engineering buildings?? They're just awful. After walking by for a month, I finally picked one up just to use for inspiration in the future. I was so pleased when looking at the inside because it just looked so "young" and exciting that it almost made me want to take summer classes.....almost. I especially liked the way they put the calendar in it because you don't normally see an actual calendar in brochures. It's a great visual guide to how long the sessions will be. I also like the variety of colors and shapes used to mark the different events. Overall, I'm super glad I decided to get this. It's a great addition to my "inspiration box" (which is currently the box that my monitor came in) and I can see myself referring back to it for text heavy designs inspiration.
