The challenge

The challenge I found early on when creating the identity for this year's event was finding an ideal identity that fit with the upbeat personality of the theme POWERUP. The theme is all about energizing, motivating, and empowering attendees, and I wanted to find a visual identity that would reflect that. I tried out several different concepts, but none of them seemed to capture the dynamic and positive energy that the theme conveyed. I knew that the visual identity needed to be bold and dynamic, with a sense of movement and energy. I also wanted to incorporate the concept of "powering up" in some way, whether through the use of bright colors, dynamic shapes, or bold typography. I spent a lot of time researching and experimenting with different design elements to find the right combination that would embody the theme and bring it to life in a visually exciting way. Ultimately, it took some time, but I was able to develop an identity that I felt truly reflected the spirit of the Powerup theme and would effectively capture the attention of attendees.

the process

The look and feel of the HD Supply POWERUP conference was created using the circle element in the center of HD as the basis of the design. The circle was used to create a repeating pattern of ben-day dots, which are small, evenly spaced circles that are used to create a textured background. This pattern can be used as the backdrop for the conference, appearing on various elements such as the stage, signage, and marketing materials. The circle can also be used in a more prominent way, such as being the centerpiece of the conference logo or being used as a focal point on the stage. The use of the circle and ben-day dots can help create a cohesive, visually interesting look that is reflective of the HD brand.
