Design Collective is a proposed identity for the summer and fall pop-up shops by the students of the University of Houston Graphic Design program. All items sold at pop-up shops are designed and produced by students through different methods and media, commenting on a wide variety of themes related to design, media, and pop culture. The pop-up shops aims to encourage creativity, curiousity, and experimentation.

CUSTOM TYPEFACE
In exploring the concept for this project, designing a custom typeface became the natural medium during the process of experimentation through which became the basis of the Design Collective’s identity. Tash is a display typeface inspired by a blend of blackletter lettering and early digital typography.  

ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
UHGD typically holds each fundraiser in a 10x10’ pop-up tent. With that in mind, the challenge became creating a space that was spacious and open enough for various customers to circulate through, yet hold all merchandise in ways that provided a personal experience for the customers. To answer this ask, light and easily collapsible shelving, easels, and grid structures were proposed. These would hold all products but created separated areas through which customers could flow and interact with different types of merchandise. 

APPLICATIONS
A series of products and merchandise, such as sketchbooks and t-shirts, were created for this project. Based off of Design Collective’s custom typeface, a type specimen poster was created and unique to the Design Collective pop-up shop.
