American University 
of Armenia: Commencement Booklet 2022 

SPRING 2021
The American University of Armenia in Yerevan was founded shortly after Armenia gained independence to help shape the country’s future through education.

For this year’s commencement at the American University of Armenia, the design draws inspiration from the canceled 2020 ceremony, reimagined with a sense of permanence and reflection. 

I worked with AUA’s Communications team to create a structured, binder-inspired booklet housed in a custom case—emphasizing the weight and importance of the event.

Design decisions focused on clarity, organization, and academic symbolism: full-height, color-coded tabs mark each chapter, using AUA’s spring-toned brand palette; serif and sans serif type pairings balance tradition and modernity; and fine lines act as both visual dividers and subtle nods to structure and growth.
