Proposed Signage for the Outback Preserve. Professor Kathryn Miller

“I’ve designed a three-dimensional entry-point sign for the Pitzer Outback. It is fabricated from Cor-10 steel, stands about 9 feet tall and approximately 1 1/2 feet wide and has a rusted finish. On the entry side there are cut outs of various paw prints and bird foot prints of the animals that inhabit the outback. I’ve also included prints for a GMO (genetically modified organism) to cover the future. On the backside as you head back out to civilization there are cut outs of symbols humans have used to denote various aspects of the landscape (sun, water, rain, desert, mountains, etc.) over time. The center spine of the sign simply has the word OUTBACK cut out, designating a formal name for this unique space on the Pitzer campus.” -Kathryn Miller Conceptual rendering of proposed signage
