We all want to show our school pride, don't we? This is my final project for my Public Relations class at Parsons The New School for Design. A collaboration with DKNY by Donna Karan, is a mock capsule collection for students to show their school pride. In this project you can find the concept to the designs and invites, as well as a creative overview, press releases, social media strategies, target

LOGO
“The ‘P’ needed to be memorable for all.We want to
students to feel a sense of pride when they see it.
When we were developing the logo, we knew it has to
reflect Parsons.We chose red because it stands out.
One can interpret the lines in the ‘P’ to be drawing
lines or threads.”
- Donna Karan
