Process Book

Process Book Cover

A self-evaluation on design and process. This book is a project I worked on in 2025 as part of an analytical study of my processes as an artist.

The book compiles many artists and artworks throughout time and explores what kind of effect they have on my work, examining the relationship between historical influence and contemporary practice.

Identity

Wayfinding 4

System

The museum's wayfinding signage at Pier 4 translates the visual identity into clear, functional tools for navigation. Each sign uses Helvetica Neue in black against the bold yellow, maintaining strong contrast and legibility throughout the former loading dock spaces.

Accessibility is a key consideration, with letter heights meeting minimum standards so information can be read quickly and comfortably. Generous spacing between sections and consistent alignment help visitors scan information without confusion.

Pedro Youssef

Who am I?

I'm Pedro Youssef, a Boston-based graphic designer and MFA candidate in Graphic Design at Boston University.

My background combines fine arts training with a systems-driven design approach, focusing on clear visual communication across print and digital.

I'm especially interested in translating complex ideas into accessible, human-centered stories through typography, layout, and strong hierarchy. I work primarily with Adobe Creative Suite and build projects through research, iteration, and careful craft.
