Unforgettable Photo Experiences for Incoming Students at the University of Miami
Updated: Sep 7
Creating a Branded Experience for Incoming Students
The goal was clear: provide incoming students with a fun and memorable experience as they prepared to embark on their journey at the University of Miami.
Instead of a generic photo booth, MC2 crafted experiences that incorporated the university’s logo and visual identity. This approach made the activation feel like an integral part of the celebration.
The experience unfolded across three separate events over several weeks, ensuring that every student had the chance to participate.
The University of Miami Magazine Photo Booth
The first part of the activation featured MC2’s magazine photo booth.
This booth was customized with University of Miami branding, creating the illusion that students were stepping inside their own magazine cover! Students could pose individually or with friends, creating personalized keepsakes tied to this significant milestone.
The large, branded setup also served as a visual photo opportunity within the event space. It attracted attention, encouraged participation, and provided students with a natural gathering spot.
Adding an AI Photo Experience
For the final two events, MC2 introduced a customized AI photo experience.
This innovative experience used creative concepts developed around the University of Miami’s logo and brand guidelines. Students could take individual or group photos and watch them transform into unique images!
One of the standout features of this experience was personalization. Guests loved that the images were imaginative while still resembling them. The technology enhanced their photos without stripping away the personal connection that makes a keepsake truly meaningful.
AI Group Photos Made the Experience Social
The AI experience wasn’t just for individual portraits! Students could join in with friends to create transformed group photos together.
This social aspect made the activation even more engaging and helped new students share the experience with others who were preparing for the same transition.
Strong Student Participation Throughout the Events
The booths were buzzing with activity, as students took photos and produced prints throughout the celebrations.
Guests described the AI experience as cool, creative, and unique. They especially appreciated seeing recognizable versions of themselves within imaginative, university-branded results.
The photo activation quickly became one of the highlights of the celebrations. It combined entertainment, personalization, school spirit, and a physical keepsake that students could cherish.
Why Branded Photo Experiences Work for University Events
Branded photo experiences can support several important goals for a college or university:
Encourage students to participate and interact
Create excitement around the university experience
Reinforce school branding and visual identity
Give students content they can share
Provide a printed keepsake from an important milestone
Create natural opportunities for individual and group engagement
The best results occur when technology, visual design, and guest experience all align with the event's purpose.
