Inspired by the iconic “I <3 New York” design by Milton Glaser, these series of products attest to listeners’ pride in being well-informed citizens.

Headphones and earbuds continuous line art illustrations
What describes an audio brand? Headphones and earbuds, but how do we make it special? Personalizing the artwork by having the wires spell out the WBUR call letters was a way to make that stronger connection.

These illustrations would end up being the foundation of a spring marketing campaign and used throughout the organization for a variety of needs.
