Most of our design projects have been in partnership with Temple’s Beasley School of Law to help celebrate its 125th Anniversary throughout the 2020 / 2021 academic year. This momentous occasion has sparked the need for visual and verbal communications across a range of print and digital touchpoints that are highlighted in the projects below.
Board of Trustees Communications
Xhilarate created a brochure highlighting the accomplishments and contributions of Temple University’s Board of Trustee members and other stakeholders within the William T. Bergman, Temple’s Vice President for Public Affairs’ circle, including legislators and prominent community leaders.
