Description
Designing a multimedia, multipurpose center for teenagers at the Chicago Public Library. We built an environment in which teens can get excited about creating and not just consuming media. The room houses YouMedia, a workshop-based program designed by scholars from the University of Chicago. The program's classes are taught by volunteer mentors from the community, and the physical space we designed provides a place where teens can hangout, explore new media, and develop a greater awareness of the library as a resource.

The YouMedia space opened on July 10, 2009.


[Concept Design]


3D virtual space. Our 3D visualizations helped us balance the colors as our clients made the final choices.


[Color Scheme]


In order to define the space we used different colors. We selected warm colors for the work shop area and used cool colors for hang out area.


[YouMedia Logo Design_Final]

We designed a logo for YouMedia for branding purposes. The logo needed to be easily scalable and reproducible for print and other applications.
