In its tenth year, the 2024 Fast Company Innovation Festival unfolds in venues throughout New York City, convening thousands of makers and innovators from across the globe—exceptional leaders and doers shaping the future—for four days of inspired conversation, purposeful networking, and meaningful takeaways.

This project is based around the concept that we can still have control over our lives in a digital era, and attempts to visualize a harmoneous blend of structure and exploration. The use of a grid system throughout the three posters invites the viewer in for a closer look at the messages needing to be portrayed for the respective events in a digestible way while simultaneously creating a 3D perspective with the use of shadow and angle. The color palette, based on the CMYK patterns of printers, is meant to be familiar and not too visually jarring, but distinguishing the three posters from each other. I was inspired by posters that have shapes with implied lines and geometry, though I did not want to put my text at an angle as I did not want the message to become more complex. Additionally, much like a phone or TV screens, we are often viewing these messages head on. The use of the dual tones for the backgrounds intends to mimic the pixels on our phones and devices, linking to the subjects at hand.
