Project abstract
An inspirational postcard commissioned by AIGA and Worldstudio Foundation. The postcard directs members to mentoring resources, created by AIGA and Worldstudio.
Project challenge overview
The objective was to create a compelling, promotional piece for a series of creative mentoring guidebooks available through AIGA. The resources, developed jointly by AIGA and Worldstudio, are available online at no-cost. The card was distributed at the "Next: AIGA Design Conference" and it will be sent to all members.
Project solution details
On the front of the card, inside a sideways figure 8, are the words "Inspire, the future." The shape catches fire before the viewer's eyes. The composition communicates the promise on the reverse of the card, that the mentoring guidebooks "help you find the inspiration to inspire."
