Design Charettes Logo

Charrettes

Design Charrettes, or “sprints”, are an extra-curricular opportunity to address real-world design challenges.
 

Facilitated by the RBC Centre For Emerging Artists & Designers (CEAD), 5–10 current students are brought together to apply their creative and critical thinking skills in response to a design brief. Created in collaboration with industry partners and supported by expert faculty members who facilitate discussion and feedback, charrettes are one-to-three-day engagements aimed at brainstorming and prototyping new ideas, visuals or products. They also present an opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration by students from across the university. Students and faculty are compensated for their participation. Charrettes can take place September – May and are planned a minimum of 2-4 months prior.

Logo Design Competition

The Centre for Aging & Brain Health Innovation (C-ABHI) sought inspiration for a new logo which would help build a local and global brand awareness of C-ABHI as a leading solution accelerator for ageing and brain health innovation. The design challenge was to inspire C-ABHI and capture the impact of their mission, vision, programs and services.
