OBJECTIVE

Celebration

The San Francisco Fire Department partnered with the Academy of Art in Spring 2015. The SFFD was in need of an event logo, website and advertising campaign for their upcoming 150th anniversary.

NOTES

09

BACKGROUND

Two teams of students joined forces and worked for three months on this project. The challenge was to celebrate the rich history of the fire department in a modern and forward thinking way, so that the men and women of the fire department could commemorate all of the hard work and dedication over the past 150 years while having fun and looking forward to the next 150 years. CONCEPT

Working with a team of students, we came up with the concept for the event campaign, Celebrate like it’s 1866. Firefighters work tirelessly to protect the city and they deal with serious situations everyday on the job. Therefore, we wanted to give them a year of events they could really look forward to, where they could let loose and enjoy themselves.

THANK YOU

Checklist


FAMILY

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for your love and support. To my parents and grandparents, thank you for supporting me, believing in me and encouraging me to pursue my dreams. I would never have found myself or my passion if you hadn’t given me the opportunity to break out of my shell. FRIENDS

Thanks to all my friends who have helped me and spent hard study time with me. I won’t forget this experience. Thank you. MENTORS

Mary Scott, Ariel Grey, Tom McNulty, Michael Taylor, Julia Lemke and John Nettleton. Thank you for your teaching and kind words that encouraged me.
