Ignite is the annual innovation showcase at the Student Innovation Center at Iowa State University. It is a four day event that takes place at the end of the school year, including exhibitions of student work, an Innovation Challenge, and an interactive expo.
To promote this event, I designed each letter that makes up the word "ignite" to be made in a different medium, as a way to showcase the many creative possibilities that the Student Innovation Center offers. Student employees and shop supervisors helped me create each letter, while I documented the process. I edited them into a series of videos to go on social media and to be displayed on the jumbotron inside the Student Innovation Center.
