USC × UCLA Dual Graduation — Walnut

About This Installation

A dual-school graduation celebration at a private home in Walnut — one graduate from USC, one from UCLA. I designed a white rectangular backdrop and incorporated both university signs and their respective color palettes into a single cohesive installation. The organic balloon garland blended honey yellow, deep red, royal blue, and gold — USC's cardinal-and-gold and UCLA's blue-and-gold woven together without either school dominating. Dual-school installs require careful color balancing so both graduates feel equally celebrated, and this palette did exactly that. Full design, build, and on-site install by my team.
