GNU Group (Lafayette, Calif.) designed a wayfinding program for the City of Davis, Calif. In response to a stringent budget, the firm brought in the environmental graphics program at the University of California, Davis, extending the team’s local resources while providing a real-world experience for the students. GNU presented their own and student-designed designs to the city’s review committee. The committee selected the design direction created by student Deena Freel, who said, “Working on this project with the GNU Group was an incredible experience. Having my design approach chosen was icing on the cake.”
