Imagery

Compelling images draw in our audience so they connect with our message. The best imagery tells a unique story about the university.

We cultivate innovation and leadership in our community.
As a result, the images you use should tell a meaningful story to showcase our diversity, culture and distinction.

Our brand uses different types of visuals, including:

Graphics

Bold and vibrant, graphics can convey abstract concepts, such as progress, innovation and energy.

Photography

Reflects who we are through our people, places and experiences.

Illustration

Allows us to tell stories by playing off our curiosity and imagination.
