    uniE621 Step Forward Event Logo
    This event celebrated the grand opening of the SR 99 tunnel. The tunnel travels below Seattle's downtown and was the voter-approved option to replace the dilapidated Alaskan Way Viaduct. The logo needed to highlight the opening of the tunnel, say farewell to the viaduct, and celebrate future improvements to Seattle's waterfront. The top half of the logo represents the circular tunnel, while the bottom is the rectangular viaduct. When combined they form a portal to "Step Forward" into the future. The gradients of color help lead the eye into the logo's center. Photography focuses on the multiplicity of the project, showing the tunnel, viaduct, and waterfront. logo graphicdesigner

Using the illustration style guide, I crafted these using simple and iconic imagery to show a product's function or illustrate the steps of a process. illustrator
