PRIMARY FUNCTION: Event
INSPIRATION: The theme, Power of Play was inspired by powerful toy designs. I had a chance to make visually interesting graphic forms inspired by the form of toys that we interact with when we were young. Having big typography as part of the form, letterforms "power of play" is cohesively living with these basic graphic forms.
