Martin Dining Commons Gets Some Spirit

If you haven’t been to Martin Commons recently, you might be in for a surprise. A frequent stop for many student athletes, Martin Commons was in need of a makeover that reflects the competitive spirit our athletes bring to Miami University.

This was the perfect project for Andrew Rogers, a Communications Design major ‘20 and Lead Student Designer for Campus Services Marketing. Andrew utilized his talents to design the “Fight Song” artwork and also participate in the installation. This was a unique opportunity for a designer to see the project through from creation to implementation.

Andrew says, “I am proud to have contributed to the spirit of Miami by visualizing the University’s fight song. The project was fun and collaborative while helping me build my skills as a designer. It was cool to also be included in the installation of the wall vinyl in Martin Dining hall. Rarely do designers get to see their work fully printed in such a fast paced work environment, and it was a pleasure helping put it up.”

Andrew has been a Lead Student Graphic Designer for Campus Services for six months. His artwork has been displayed throughout Miami University. It would be nearly impossible to spend time on campus during the past six months and not have viewed his work.

Andrew’s artwork and the other items you currently see in Martin are just the beginning. Be on the lookout for jerseys, equipment, and other sports memorabilia to make their way into Martin.
