01 / From idea to application

Direction in
the details.

I led the branding, key visuals and full creative direction for Global SME Finance Forum. A luminous globe and flowing terrain form the centre of its visual world.

Working with Dominic Chin on the applications, I guided the event lockups, hierarchy and spacing so the identity could hold together across campaign communications and physical formats.

The details change with the canvas: a banner needs distance and impact; a badge needs clarity and space for the person wearing it.

An identity you carry.

Event badge system

A shared visual header and distinct category colours connect the event badges. The open centre leaves room for attendee information.
