Portcon @ Home
The COVID pandemic meant that PortConMaine 2020 couldn’t happen in its normal convention format. And that’s really sad! PortCon@Home was created in an effort to bring the community together in new ways. I was asked to set the tone with some branding.
Key Art Development
PortCon events always have key artwork. Taking inspiration from the imagery of Lo-Fi Hip Hop to Study To and Vaporwave, a pair of concepts that create an atmosphere and resonate with the PortCon community.
Logo Development
Borrowing some elements from the amazing PortCon logo that Emillu developed a few years ago, I developed a versatile mark that embodies home, safety, and community.
In the Wild
PortCon@Home had a whole lot of moving parts that quickly got lost in posts spanning Facebook, Patreon, and Discord. I worked with the event staff to compile these things onto a single page on PortCon’s existing website. It was a simple move, but it’s one that promised to keep us more organized moving forward. Sometimes the solutions aren’t flashy and that is okay!
