Purdue Composites Manufacturing and Simulation Center

One research center, every surface

CMSC works with industry partners on composite design and manufacturing. I keep its visual material consistent wherever it shows up: in presentations, on the walls of the facility, at events and online.

The ask

Keep up with a center that never stops changing

People join and leave, conferences come around every year and the center needs to look like itself each time. CMSC needed one source for the pieces it uses again and again.

What I did

  • Rebuilt the faculty, staff and graduate student org charts as one InDesign file that exports for slides, facility displays and the CMSC website
  • Designed Interlaminar Phenomena in Advanced Composites, R. Byron Pipes’ presentation for the American Society for Composites
  • Designed banner stands for CMSC, the CDM Hub and a paired IACMI and CMSC display
  • Designed a responsive web layout for the center

The result

Update once, use everywhere

A change to one person now flows from a single file to the presentation slide, the facility display and the website, and the center’s events, decks and displays share one look.
