deliverables
Graphic design and Buttons.
process
We designed the button to be handed out to guests during the award ceremony as a keepsake. We started by looking through the finalists’ artwork, picking out elements that really stood out to incorporate into the design. From there, we experimented with different styles for each piece and worked together as a team to find the best text layout that fit the overall look.
adaptations

for our final design our goal was to highlight the winners of the award. As well as making sure our text was visually clear to read.
