Small Systems. Our Biggest Priority

A portrait ranking campaign for the School of Emergent Priorities, setting a circuit board rising over a plain under a surveyor's patient watch

A marketing poster for Slop University presents embedded systems design as the standing item on the School of Emergent Priorities' Horizon Register, setting a single microcontroller rising like a sun over a flat horizon while a surveyor keeps it in view through a theodolite. It carries the item's eleven consecutive quarters on the Register and was issued in light and dark renderings for the University's portrait screens.
