Playful, animated graphics brought fun to the lectures.
PROJECT GOAL
Lecture Me! engaged community and student members with the academic research of leading faculty members at UTM. But due to its poor attendance in previous years, the series was in talks of being cancelled.
SOLUTION
Margaux designed playful, animated ads for social media to engage community and student members.
