BRIEF

John White­head­’s con­tri­bu­tions had a pro­found effect on Har­vard Busi­ness School. To hon­or the phil­an­thropist on his 90th birth­day, HBS asked indi­vid­u­als for quotes and adjec­tives describ­ing John’s impact—allowing us free range to cre­ate an appro­pri­ate homage.

APPROACH

To rep­re­sent the many branch­es of the uni­ver­si­ty, the quotes were mold­ed into a tree’s arma­ture, while descrip­tors became foliage to rep­re­sent growth, sta­bil­i­ty, and poten­tial. We worked with EM Let­ter­press to cre­ate a lim­it­ed-edi­tion run of the poster.
