I'm assuming 'it' is going to be 'IT,' as in, Information Technology? I recommend going with a sans serif font to look more modern..Avenir, Gothom, Neuzeit, etc. Use your university's colors and any other design elements.
Do you have the dimension, number of colors, or details already? The more colors you use, the more it will cost. You could get away with 2 pantone colors for example, rather than 4-color CMYK. Will the banner need grommets?
Go to bigstock.com and search 'technology' if you want to get more creative and need some inspiration. Stocklayouts.com is also a good resource for adding abstract graphic elements. If you don't want to match your school's colors scheme, then check out color.adobe.com.
school is black and gold
if i could use stocks then it'd be super easy to just slap something together but idk if it's allowed
the basic requirements are below i just can't think of anything creative... i really dont wanna just throw some pictures of shit on campus on a board with some logos and call it a day
SO, looking for inspiration here i thought about doing like a plane flying over the chicago skyline... but then i saw someone had already done like that exact same thing...

RAH I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING...
