For this editorial direction, we anchored the visual narrative using the physical legacy of the campus itself. We created a highly detailed, custom illustration of the iconic main building clock tower as the focal point, framing it within a modern geometric design motif. This geometric framing was directly inspired by the unique, historical floor tiling found across the campus grounds.

We integrated elements of the campus tile motif as page accents and section dividers, ensuring a cohesive visual thread without competing with the photography. We expanded on this by designing full-bleed divider pages that recontextualize the geometric tile motif across a rich, campus-inspired color palette, utilising the different colours to clearly separate pages and award types. The final result is a sophisticated, tailored publication that proudly mirrors the achievements of the award winners.
