Innovation Conference & Showcase

Innovation Conference & Showcase

Event identity & marketing materials

The Innovation Conference & Showcase brings together innovative minds, speakers who think outside the box, an exhibition and pitch competition by high tech startups with next-gen technology. For this project, I was asked to create a custom WordPress website, social media imagery and other event media.

The graphic elements are deceptively simple. Only rectangles and circles with a 3-color palette were used to illustrate the beauty of simplicity.

Logo

The event had been using the same logo for a number of years, so an update was requested. This logo design incorporates a very clean, round font with two built-in graphical elements in the letters “V” and “A.” The two letters make converse directional arrows signifying the unifying of technology and ideas.

Club Card

I was given the challenge of making a marketing piece which could generate traffic to the event website. The idea was to create cards that would inspire people to “collect them all” as three standalone cards which, when put together, make a larger picture.

This challenging piece features an original artwork broken up into three cards that all have the same back, which when flipped makes the final piece of the puzzle.

Event Program

This piece gave me the opportunity to take the graphic elements developed in the previous marketing pieces for the event and combine them in a unique way to form one coherent 16-page booklet. This piece features full bleeds and vivid, colorful imagery which work together to convey the content in a very bold way.

For the design elements, I stayed true to the simplicity of circles and rectangles with the three-color palette-while using repetitive elements in unique ways-to form a solid work that looks like it progresses a story.
