    For this project, I developed a cohesive and vibrant event branding for the Business Renewable Center (BRC) Member Event, centered around its core program categories: Connect, Learn, Analyze, and Find Opportunities. Since BRC focuses on connecting people, the primary design theme featured connection points to visually represent the “Connect” category.

    To enhance user experience and create a dynamic, recognizable visual identity, I assigned distinct bright accent colors to each category: turquoise for Learn, red for Find Opportunities, and blue for Analyze. Each area was paired with a unique icon, reinforcing the clarity and impact of the event’s purpose.

    Project Goals:
    Make the Event Attractive and Memorable
    Designed elegant, visually appealing materials that attendees could wear with pride and easily identify with.
    Personalization was key, offering attendees a choice of visuals like solar, wind, connecting, and target imagery.
    Deliver a Fun & Professional Environment
    Created an engaging yet professional atmosphere that encouraged repeat attendance.
    Create Consistency
    Repetition of the four core colors and themes from the website ensured strong brand recognition across all touchpoints.
    Every aspect of the event, from lanyards to table numbers, was meticulously branded for visual consistency and long-term brand alignment.
    Deliverables:
    Digital app banners
    Folder designs
    Photobooth artwork
    Directional signage
    Event bags and water bottles
    Lanyards
    BRC animations
    Stand-up banners
    Flashcards
    Speaker podium boards
    Printed signs for SG stands
    Sponsor easel boards
    5x7 tabletop signs
    TV screen designs
    PowerPoint presentation templates
    Website elements
    Sponsor stand-up banners
    Color scheme management
    By integrating the key visual elements from BRC’s website and program categories, this project successfully established an engaging, memorable, and cohesive event experience.
