Elevate is a design conference located in Gadsden, Alabama. The goal of this project is to create and brand a conference targeted towards college design students. Students will be exposed to the professional world from a variety of perspectives. The conference is meant to prepare and inspire students to pursue a career in design after college. Our professional guest speakers will bring real world insights as well as benefit professors to learn new trends, techniques and skills to teach their own students. No matter the reason a student comes to the conference, we aim to Elevate students with an unforgettable experience that they can take with them for the rest of their design career. 

Students, professors and professionals will be able to network with other college students and build lasting professional relationships. It will also give students the opportunity to get feedback on some of their work from professionals in a more relaxed atmosphere. The students will be able to compete in several competitions, and they will have the chance to present their portfolios to dozens of potential employers. 

The goal is to create a visual brand that will make people excited about learning and getting involved with this amazing conference. Students lack reasonable opportunity to grow in their skills outside the classroom and this event will give them the opportunity to do so.
