Urban Technology Class of 2025 Yearbook





MAY 2025
2 weeks
Editorial Direction, Book Design

Paperback, Perfect Bound
72 pages, 6” x 9”A yearbook for the BS Urban Technology Class of 2025 that contains three and a half years of learning, playing, and growing together as a cohort. Organized around the theme “Prototypes,” this book catalogs the trials and errors that made the first-ever undergraduate Urban Technology degree program at the University of Michigan.

> Design Approach

As a special memorbilia for a special cohort, I started this project by deciding the theme: “Prototypes.” Being the first cohort of a design program, we are very familiar with prototypes— making prototypes, iterating on prototypes, and even being the prototypes ourselves. 

Provided the time constraints and scale of this project, I used a simple design system emphasizing text, frame, and color (the CMYK color scheme as a nod to the CMYK exhibition space at our college). The mix of color and typography adds to the visual language of experimentation and the fun to be had in the process. 

For the content, I wanted to celebrate our memories in the program, both as students and as friends. Yellow “stickers” are distributed throughout the book to spotlight each of our favorite moments in the program. And by organizing the content as a timeline of our three-and-a-half-year tenure at Michigan, the book functions as a chronicle of our collegiate journey.
