Behind the Scenes of CCA

Half Page Ad
“I created the half page ad again, which isn’t anything real earth shattering, but it was a strong piece and it stood out against the advertisements of our competitors.”
“Once I realized I had free reign on this project, I realized I didn’t have to stick to a standard paper size – I could really think outside of the box and use some of my experience as a print designer.”
Signs
“I also designed signage to direct people to our room at the convention, but those weren’t anything special…”
iPad App
“Zach, (one of our front end developers) told me we’d be making an iPad app for CCA. He’s great to work with. A lot of the app started with his sketches of what each screen would be, then I took those sketches and tried to make them as visually appealing as possible. Basically, I just had to make ‘eye candy’, which is something every designer loves doing.”
iPhone App
“Once that was done, we decided, “Hey, why not make this an iPhone app too?” So we did. We reformatted everything and condensed it to a smaller version.”
Animated Display for 27″ iMacs
“I love working in flash and doing animation, so I jumped at the idea. It was a bit of a smash and grab job doing it just days before CCA, but I’m really happy with how it turned out.”
