The live oaks that surround LSU’s campus are the perfect representation of the unique environment on our campus and provide a direct nod to our location in south Louisiana. Use the live oak scans as a textural background element.
This element should be used for text-only projects where a texture is needed. It is ideal for framing text set in Proxima Nova on brochure covers, certificates, programs, or any project where you need the copy to look “fierce” but don’t want to add a portrait. This element should always be corporate purple and white for a high contrast effect. It should never be used in advertising or paired with photography, tiger stripes, or brush strokes.
Pre-created live oak scans are available via the LSU CC Libraries or a Box download in the Introduction to Graphic Elements article.
