Future Past: Digital/Tech Event

Student Project > Event Concept

By their very nature, digital/media events try desperately to be the most high tech, and the most future gazing. Future Past takes a slightly different approach, looking back into the emergence of digital tech, tracing a line from the first PC and games consoles, all the way to the Apple Watch. What can we learn from the biggest hits (as well as spectacular misses) along the way?

The design treatment seeks to match the subject of the event—to represent the transition from past to future while avoiding the typical pixel-themed approach to branding such events.
