The University has created a trio of posters illustrating elements of the art and architecture across all its campuses, reinforcing pride in the institution and all that it stands for. The beauty of the School of Law, the Health Center, the five regional campuses, and the main campus in Storrs is featured in these visually arresting expressions of UConn.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe posters draw attention to the charm and character of all our campuses,\u201d says Jim Walter, associate vice president of university communications.<\/p>\n

Timeless in their content, the release of these keepsake posters is occurring at a time when pride and excitement in the University is building.<\/p>\n

Each poster is a composite of different images that are not necessarily the most immediately recognizable features at each campus; and because these are cropped, part of the posters\u2019 appeal comes from encouraging speculation about exactly what is being represented and where it is located.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe made choices that were fun, and some that would challenge the viewer,\u201d Walter says, \u201cmaking people think, \u2018I\u2019ve seen that and I just don\u2019t know where.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe posters are purposely not specific to a year or an event,\u201d he adds. \u201cThey will have some staying power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Available either individually or as a collection, each full-color 2\u20196\u201d x 1\u20196\u201d poster features about a dozen images that relate to each other graphically. For example, the poster labeled \u201cAccents\u201d juxtaposes images of interesting portions of various facilities. The joined images in \u201cPerspectives\u201d encompass ornamental enhancements that distinguish a variety of buildings. Similarly, \u201cDimensions\u201d includes sculptures and paintings that artists have created to enrich the University\u2019s interior and exterior locations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur creative team recommended producing a relatively small run of a series of posters, using existing photography to contain costs,\u201d Walter said. \u201cIf folks especially like one particular poster that\u2019s fine, but if they want more to help fill in a bare wall in a conference room they can take advantage of all three designs.\u201d<\/p>\n
