Earlier this year, our organization hosted the annual ACC Programs Workshop. Each year a different branch in the HQ hosts it, but someone always seems to find a way to track me down to build the conference media. This year was supposed to be a “green” theme for sustainability, and since our branch was the one stuck with the bill, I was able to unleash a bit of artistry on the Air Force.
Not having much time, I built a poster using some materials I had lying around from other projects… and also turned that into a 60 second looping backdrop for the workshop. The clip was built in After Effects, and was rendered out so it would play on a 12 foot screen, between briefings and during the breakfast, breaks, and meet and greets. We used the same basic theme for the name tags and base placards. People loved them so much, that most of the placards disappeared at the end of the conference, and are probably sitting on someones desk down at the various bases.
The name tags were printed on recycled paper, and the sleeves are bio-film, biodegradable plastic, courtesy of BioTech/KleerTech.
After the conference, I ended up exporting a smaller, cropped version of the looping background for use on the AF Portal. This is what you’re seeing here now.
