In early 2021, Miami University launched their web redesign. They showcased the drafted homepage to our Regionals Office of Communications and Marketing in the early test stages circa November 2020. I was blown away by the new "texture" introduced of Oxford campus and landmarks (see below).

However, Miami University Regionals is not one college town – it consists of two commuter campuses located in Hamilton and Middletown, a learning center located in West Chester, and our E-Campus. How was I going to convey three campuses and an E-Campus system into one illustrative graphic?

I chose three recognizable symbols of Miami University Regionals locations: the Hamilton Campus concrete sculptures, the Middletown Campus glass and metal sculpture, and the Voice of America Learning Center's cupola.

Using the pen tool in illustrator, I was able to use these images as reference to create highly-detailed, line-art illustrations of these three landmarks. Reducing the opacity of the lines in areas helped represent where pipes were obscured by frosted glass. Not a single pane of glass or concrete divot was missed in creating these illustrations.

These duotone illustrations were utilized on the Miami University Regionals homepage and in some print applications.
