WHO WE ARE:
We are a design class. We are a research lab. The Design Outside Studio is a teaching and research project led by Jeremy Shellhorn. Our studio loves to be outdoors, out of the classroom and into parks & places that challenge us to design, think and make in new ways. We realize the design process is a powerful tool for making things better, visualizing what if, and creating change.
As our parks and public spaces face challenges connecting visitors to meaningful and sustainable learning & recreational experiences; we as a studio (students & faculty) look to find ways in which to collaborate with organizations, parks, rangers and fellow outdoors-folk to communicate engaging and effective conservation messages.
WHAT WE DO:
We foster a stewardship ethic for both designer’s and audiences a
like and we design visual communication (logos, symbols, graphics, signage, illustrations, stickers, books, zines and art) that:
– encourages drivers to slow down for bears
– keeps people on trails to protect native plants
– introduces millions of visitors to a national park
– engages hikers to stop erosion
– challenges park visitors to Leave No Trace
– explains the alpine environment to hikers at 12,500 ft.
– connects people to a river ecosystem through fly fishing
– creates a pop up art exhibit in a campground
– archives and digitizes revered National Park “Lettering”
