To The Moon And Back

Every year, my company joins trade show exhibits to gain more leads. This is always the busiest time of the year for me because of all the planning, presentations, business card designs and banners for the trade show exhibit. As I check my designs last year, I realized how outdated they are. Our new application has been re-designed for web 2.0 so I need something more fun yet sophisticated, corporate but not boring.

Thanks to the Internet, I have unlimited supply of inspiration. A few visits to websites designing trade show exhibit banners just gave me an idea on what to do this time. Colorful banners are so out, minimalist is in. Well, for our software application, that is. I noticed that most banners use photos as backgrounds too, unlike before when the company logo and a couple of swirls and swooshes would be enough. I want to try that approach too but it wouldn’t fit our theme. Plus I need to make sure first how much our budget for the printing will be before I create any artworks.
