Glam Collab is a networking event that facilitates collaboration between Portland State University Graphic Design (PSUGD) students and Portland Beauty School (PBS) students.
To create a recognizable and appealing visual identity for this event and establish a recurring series that grows over time, I designed unique visual branding that appeals to creative minds from both schools.
