Overview
BCIT Esports Association is a club that is a part of the BCIT Student Association. BCIT:EA brings video gaming enthusiasts from all genres, both casual or competitive gamers. We hold events throughout the year for students to take a break from school work. We also strive to bring people from the community together to build connections, memorable experiences, and fantastic opportunities.
Role
I have been an executive for the BCIT: Esports Association since 2023, taking on the role as a Graphic Designer. This position has given me the opportunity to work in a more professional environment with a group of people with similar interests. My first project was to help design the yearly hoodie for the Valorant team and members of the club. I am also responsible for any posters that are made for any of the activities, while following the President’s vision. The recent creation of the BCIT Smash Discord channel has given me the opportunity to create their profile pictures every month with a different aesthetic.
Throughout my time at BCIT:EA I was assigned to create digital posts for the social medias. Working on a square canvas makes it compatible between different applications, such as Instagram. This process required me to include accurate information and proper layout and hierarchy to my work.

Print projects was also a part of one of my tasks. Not only is my job to prepare designs, but to also make sure they are print ready and no problems occur when it heads to the printer. Posters for club events and general promotion of the club are some print works I have done.
The yearly hoodie design project was not only my first project at BCIT:EA, but also took the longest to complete. Through many obstacles and mistakes that I had to face, I would choose this project as the most difficult. It was also the biggest learning experience of what it's like to work on a project in a team environment.


The concept of this design is inspired the iconic building at BCIT's Burnaby campus, SW1. The design was simplified and focused on the curved facade of the building with the stacked levels. Five strokes was chosen to represent the number of BCIT campuses.


After going through feedback from members and club meetings it was decided to change the concept, leaning more toward a Video Game and University concept. The final design decisions is inspired by Cyberpunk with University typography. The SW1 design element on the arm was converted to five slanted lines with the largest one in a different colour, representing the main campus, located at BCIT.
