RISD Commencement

Commencement brings graduating students together to celebrate the collective success of the respective class. This year’s event graphics describe the core of learning and creating at the Rhode Island School of Design. Making starts not only with a question, but often with a haphazard scribble. At RISD, students write, paint and draw to envision a reimagined future. Sketchbooks are consequently a portal into an individual’s unique outlook and their exploration from ideation to concept. Commencement shares a similar trajectory — reaching an end only to start again.
