In 2016, I had the privilege of handling all creative duties for the AIA/IIDA Cleveland Design Awards. This work included the event's visual identity, printed invite, and commemorative program book.
Every year, Cleveland chapters of non-profit organizations American Institute of Architects (AIA) and International Interior Designer Association (IIDA) combine efforts to celebrate and recognize accomplishments within their respective industries.
While exploring inspiration for the project, I was immediately drawn to the presence of the event’s venue - the newly built Hilton Downtown Cleveland.
Considering my audience, I knew this nod to the latest addition to our city's skyline would be greatly appreciated. All aspects of the event’s identity - from the color palette, to the invite's signature die-cut, were directly informed by the Hilton's unique personality.
