Branding a Campus Through Seven Walls and One Community
Channel Islands High School came to us with one of our largest requests to date: a fully branded campus. Across seven walls, they asked for their core values in bold lettering, the Raider ship, the CI shield, and a sports-themed piece for their gym. The goal was a campus where Raider identity could always be felt - from the front of the school to the inside of the gym.
​
A project this size belongs to the whole school, so we built it that way. We developed community surveys so students & staff could give input on the designs, ensuring every wall reflected the voices of the people who walk past it daily. We hosted in-class workshops on the craft and business of public art, and ran painting workshops where students and faculty picked up brushes alongside our team. Seven walls later, Channel Islands has a campus painted in part by the very community it represents.
