Which step of the library stairs

Every alum remembers which step they sat on for their graduation photo. We engraved that staircase onto the pin.

Design process
Process: reducing the library's brutalist elevation to contour lines, then compressing to a geometric mark on the pin.
01 · Cultural observation

What we saw in what's public

Reviewed 600+ graduation photos from alumni social feeds. The most frequent location: 'the 7th step on the east side of the library'. It became the central totem.

02 · Design language

How the observation becomes metal

Front: library silhouette rendered as contour lines, with a hidden numeral 7 easter egg. Back: enrollment year and faculty abbreviation. Hard enamel with gold rim.

03 · Material

What craft was used

Brass base / gold plating / hard enamel
