It’s been a while since I posted about graphic repro(duction)…
Back in May – I allowed myself a scintilla of optimism; ‘Be proud’!
I mentioned how the commitment and drive from the people I work with is awesome and infectious.
We’ve recently installed a celebration wall that will feature photos of scholars that have something to celebrate.
As I said back in May, a dose of healthy pride can be a good thing.
A feeling of satisfaction and self-respect derived from one’s endeavours, abilities, or character. Pride can be a motivating emotion that can encourage continued effort. An authentic genuine feeling of worth and dignity that can energize a quiet implicit realistic humble confidence.
I believe that providing a graphic repro service to staff and students helps to visualise and reinforce a culture of teamship and belonging.
I did collate a little visual carousel:
Part of my Design & Reprographics role is to create and maintain a strong visual identity that relays the tones and qualities of our community, while promoting our cultural ambitions and expectations.
We create and maintain a consistent design identity and style, echoing graphic devices across all materials, and adding value to material created. As well as bulk reproduction, we create department-specific graphics and resources; signage, certificates, posters, cards, worksheets, passes, stickers, etc.
Graphic Repro and ‘belonging’: identity, community and culture.
Identity: uniformity in design across materials maintains a professionalism.
Community: consistent, appealing, memorable design fosters trust and credibility.
Culture: visual familiarity can generate a deeper connection and improve teamship.
It’s what I do… ‘Image Creation‘
