Whittier Utility Box Wraps

Client: The Whittier Neighborhood Alliance

Designers:
Christina Huang '14, MFA
Ning Kang '14, MFA
HeeYun Kim '14, MFA
Jiyun Lou '14, MFA

As part of a city-wide beautification project, DesignWorks was asked to wrap unsightly, rusty electrical boxes in beautiful works of art and design. Working with Marian Biehn and Rob Davis of the Whittier Alliance, DesignWorks concepted, designed, and produced inspiring, abstract, and brightly colored designs that reflect the vibrancy of the neighborhood.

Of more than eighty designs that were presented to community members and business owners, twenty were selected to be produced over the next year and to cover existing boxes. All selected designs were by international MFA students.
