Logo
The logo is inspired by a butterfly and the letter "M" for Mujeres (Mother). Vivian-Rose Acuff created it by incorporating the existing shapes from the original logos and a newly designed rectangle shape that appears on the left and right of the center red square. She was inspired by Clínica Médicos' woman and children branch, which symbolizes nature, innocence, and reflection. Vivian-Rose aimed to represent the clinic's mission accurately, which is to serve as an urban mission ground for families in Chattanooga who need and deserve medical support.

Branding
Clínica Médicos provides essential healthcare to Chattanooga's Latino families. To strengthen the brand's visual identity, Vivian-Rose Acuff designed an Annual Report and Brochure, focusing on the Clínica Mujeres y la Familia branch. She collaborated with Zoe Adair to create a Spanish language pregnancy brochure, promoting accessibility and education. The 2025 Annual Report template was also developed as a long-term resource. By using elements from the existing logo, Vivian-Rose, Zoe, and several other designers created a cohesive visual identity across the clinic's services. Both assets were made available in Canva for easy future use.

Speak Magazine
Vivian-Rose Acuff is a graphic designer who is interested in Nancy Spector’s response to Stefan Sagmeister’s series “Things I have learned in my life.” Sagmeister’s project shares how he finds meaning in life through experiences that require reflection, acceptance of imperfection, and a balance between work and personal well-being. Acuff’s approach to adding visual imagery stems from being influenced by the same antiestablishment cultural phenomenon developed during the 1960s mentioned in Spector’s essay. While keeping note of how Nancy positions Sagmeister’s work as a critique against the dominant approach of traditionally curated art, her publication is harvested with photography from “The Saturday Evening Post” magazine published
on January 25th, 1969.8.5in x 11in

UNI Publication
This publication takes inspiration from Lorraine Wild’s “Unraveling,” an essay that advocates for a more open, exploratory approach to design. Wild dives into the rising ideal of the 1990s, in which the “designer’s voice,” expressed through form, signified allegiance against the traditional role of a graphic designer. Vivian-Rose Acuff’s approach disrupts the traditional grid systems by displacing typography, images, and quotes, prioritizing craftsmanship over rigid structure.

Experimental Publication
How many times can society use plastic to create something novel for temporary utility and truly further progressivism? In the end, society is simply producing more “stuff.” Vivian-Rose Acuff observes that, as a society, we seem to never produce enough material to satisfy our needs for consumption. Even though the materials we often use are non-biodegradable, we disregard their longevity if we are not interested in consuming them. This publication serves as a physical representation of the next 20-500 years, where there is no subject to attract, but rather what remains in the collection of material that society chooses to ignore on both a micro and macro scale.

Collage
This collage experiment is inspired by two randomly chosen words: sun and narcissus. To connect the two words together, Vivian-Rose Acuff notes that narcissists are drawn to fight, and the sun is drawn to heat. Using this as the focus, she unites these ideas through collage, with each image visually merging the two concepts. The collage, presented in an accordion booklet, symbolizes how two seemingly unrelated words can connect through an abundance of semantic relationships in the English language.20in x 5in

Concrete Poetry
In contrast to conventional arrangement, concrete poetry uses a graphic system of letters, words, or symbols to express the poet's message. The poem used in this installation is a two-word poem titled “Heartbeats” by Melvin Dixon. Since concrete poetry focuses on expression over reading, Vivian-Rose Acuff chose to transform it into an interactive experience. The file format is inspired by the anxiety of organizing life, with each file being labeled with two words from the poem. These files explore the act of evolving—sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch—to create a more immersive experience of reading poetry.5ft x 2.5ft
