Contra is a hypothetical design conference designed from the ground up by myself. Ultimately this project was centered around the branding process, but also had large areas of overlap with audience research, and event organization. Ultimately the final major deliverables produced include a conference poster, booklet, and motion graphic.
At Contra Design Conference, design professionals will gain sufficient knowledge of UI/UX design through an intensive four-day course, detailing the skills and background necessary to begin operating in UI/UX in their own right, once they've left the conference. At the culmination of the event, they will be placed into a team of conferees and forced to utilize what they have learned throughout the week in order to help their team succeed and walk away with a finished project for their portfolio.
Wanting to experiment with creating a sense of 3-dimensionality in the branding, hands were heavily incorporated breaking through the logo mark. Here they appear on a transparent cover for the booklet.
Containing all the information a conference goer needs, the booklet was created as an essential and beautiful tool for those attending. This is the cover page for the section on lecture sessions.
This section introduces each of the speakers and gives a brief design bio.
This page offers a brief break down of each session: content, speaker, time and location.
