Scope of Work:

The selected Artist will be responsible for creating a library of original illustrations that will capture the essence of Gonzaga University's values and mission. These illustrations should be consistent with the University's visual identity and brand guidelines, and suitable for use across a variety of platforms including digital media and print collateral.

For this project, the University intends to complete an illustration library with two design styles: Pen & Ink and Editorial. The subject matter of the illustrations is yet to be determined. Context will be provided when Artist(s) have been selected and the project commences. Artist(s) are not required to fulfill both styles if one style is more aligned with their technique.

Pen & Ink:

Create an illustration library of campus architecture and Spokane landmarks in a pen and ink, sketch book style. The goal of these illustrations is to highlight the historic campus and provide a refreshed visual perspective of the buildings, landmarks, and textures unique to campus and the Spokane area.

Examples of three pen and ink style illustrations.

Editorial:

Create a library of signature illustrations that will assist in the visual storytelling of Gonzaga’s mission and brand. These illustrations should be engaging, thought-provoking, emotive and capture the identity of the Gonzaga community through a symbolic or abstract lens.

Examples of three styles of editorial illustration drawings.
