TEDxPortsmouth
The challenge: We’re given a theme for the event and our task is to design a memorable graphic using only red, white and black. Displaying maximum versatility, the image must be recognizable on a small sticker but equally visible from the back rows of the Music Hall’s 895-seat theater. The graphic is then carried across all collateral: button, sticker, social media posts, letterhead, postcard, T-shirt, tote bag, program, poster, outdoor display and big screen. Dotworks has creatively risen to that challenge for the past several years.
