JILA Fellow Tom Perkins asked me to help him quickly design a logo/visual presence for Single Molecule Biophysics (SMB) 2011 conference that is going to be held in Aspen, Colorado. Tom was coordinating with Dr. Steven Block over at Stanford University who put together visuals for the previous years of the SMB conference (you can check out the 2007 design that I was told to redesign from).
The photograph for the final layout in the top image was shot by Dr. Steven Block.
This was a quick project, and I got the freedom to play around with some new ideas and illustrative techniques that have been bubbling around in my head lately. Below are some of the beta samples from my design process. The first one below is where I was toying around with images from Library of Congress public domain stock. The other images are more of my illustrative style and design where I would use abstractions of AFM in design or logo process. The last image utilized a Corbis stock photograph that I found to be fitting in case the clients were interested in using stock photography or professionally shot stills.
I just wanted to share my playground of ideas from this project. The typology and finishing touches for each of the images below are not in their final states since the client chose a different direction for the final selection (the top images).
