Design Days 2009
October 28, 2012
This poster was designed as part of the 2009 Design Days student/professional conference at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. I, along with a few other students, teamed up with local ad agency Arthur Agency to develop a brand and promotional materials for the conference. We designed the ‘design.’ mark (seen above, and again below) to indicate that the conference was a collaborative effort of the two design departments (industrial design and communication design) at SIUC. The conference has and is aimed at engaging students in both departments with alumni who are working in the design fields. We wanted the brand to clearly state that the conference was about design, so a simple yet bold typographic mark fit the bill perfectly.
All of the students were asked to come up with poster designs that presented the conference information clearly and simply. My treatment of the information was selected as the strongest and was adopted with all other promotional materials. This specific poster was also used as the main promotional item of the conference.
