Student Spotlight: Criterion Redesign

At Hexanine, we believe it’s important to give back to the profession that has given us so much, whether it’s volunteering as part of AIGA, or teaching the next generation of designers. We are committed to engaging with future creative professionals, and are excited to showcase some of their work on our site.

Matt Criterion Logo Redesign

This time, we’re featuring the work of Matt Whiting, with his redesign of the Criterion identity. Matt attends Chicago Portfolio School, and one of Tim’s students in Brand Standards Manuals. His clever, conceptually-sharp Criterion logo and brand book demand a second look. Nice job, Matt.

Student Spotlight: Mead Redesign

As we’ve mentioned before, at Hexanine we’re big believers in passing on what we’ve learned. That’s why each one of us is involved somehow in teaching, mentoring, or instructing young designers.

Occasionally we use this space to showcase some of our students’ great work.
