Pathway
Every step catalysed. Product formed.
The class as one metabolic pathway. Every graduate is an enzyme on a giant pathway map, each one catalysing the next step, until the class reaches the final product at the end.
01
The concept
You memorised the Krebs cycle three times. Now you're in it.
Pathway lays the four years out as the metabolic chart every biochemistry student has stared at the night before an exam. Each graduate is an enzyme on the map, with a name card in the shape of an arrow, and friends write what they catalysed — the late lab, the borrowed notes, the presentation that saved the group. The class walks the pathway step by step, and the last arrow points to the product: the class of 2027.
It's for biochemistry students who can draw glycolysis faster than their own signature. The palette is deep plum, lab-book white and one mint for every arrow.
02
Identity
An arrow and a substrate.
An enzyme-card lockup — enzyme, substrate, product, cofactor — in Arabic and English, with the department code as the EC number. Supplied editable.
An arrow per graduate and a four-page guide to the one rule: mint is a reaction step and nothing else.

Merch
Eight pieces in one print style, so the tee, the cap and the mug read as one set. Sized for local printers.
Try it with your names
Type your faculty, your group and your year, in English or Arabic, and see them on the tee, the mug and the lanyard.

Photography
Twelve shots, in order, along the pathway.
Start at the first substrate, follow the arrows with each graduate on their step, then the class gathered at the product.
A crisp, saturated grade. The mint arrows should look like highlighter on a textbook.

Video
One 45-second edit anybody can cut on a phone.
A 45-second walk along the pathway, one graduate per step, ending on the product.
Enzyme titles as transparent PNGs, plus a guide to a smooth tracking shot on a phone.

Photo pieces
The things people photograph
Eight pieces come in every realm, drawn in that realm's own colours. Each one is a print file at its real size with a how-to page — send it to a print shop or make it at home. Your department code and year change on all of them at once in Studio.
