the economics of social media conference


i just did the collateral for EconSM, a conference put on by contentnext that focuses on business deals in the social media ecosystem. for the first in an annual series, we kept the look fresh and clean with a simple color palette. this event was filled to capacity and a rousing success, so i’m already planning out next year’s revamp.

trepan 5: monstrous

trepan cultivates mutation in forms and styles of reading and writing, discarding traditional barriers between genres and forms, seeking out unexpected openings, and creating them where necessary.

copies are still available at trepan.org
