How We Nailed It.

01.

Started With An Idea/Theme.

Annually, JCI hosts its much-anticipated National Convention in Canada. For the upcoming event, Edmonton was chosen as the host city, with the convention scheduled during the vibrant fall season in the month of September. Given the seasonal context, the theme “emerge” was carefully selected to resonate not only with the surrounding environment but also with the spirit of budding young professionals venturing into diverse industries to establish their careers. Ensuring a seamless integration of this theme across all mediums became paramount in effectively communicating the convention’s underlying message.

Taking the Theme Into Visual Representation.

“Our initiative centered on fostering the emergence of the present commenced with the establishment of a distinctive multilingual identity in English, French, and Cree. Streamlining this identity into a contemporary wordmark, we integrated an upward-pointing arrow to symbolize progress and the journey toward transformation. Furthermore, our creative endeavors extended to crafting a diverse array of visually captivating designs, incorporating a rich tapestry of illustrations and patterns that seamlessly aligned with the conference’s thematic essence. The carefully curated vibrant color palette was selected to resonate with the target demographic, ensuring a sense of familiarity and resonance. Lastly, the subtle infusion of autumnal hues lent a nuanced warmth and depth to the visuals, completing the holistic visual narrative.
