Phase One

Topic Research & Target Audience

What is the topic of this conference?

Anything and Everything Lego.

What is the purpose of this topic?

To highlight the creativity, education and the value of creating things from your imaginations through implications of Lego. As well as connecting people to others who share their interest in Lego.

Why does it matter?

This matters because Lego is the company to best implement plastic interlocking brick-built toys, and millions of people around the world know of Lego. It also matters because Lego can be for anyone and everyone, young or old; anyone can build with Lego

Who is the Target Audience for this Conference?

All fans of Lego, young and old. People who are also interested in learning more about Lego and seeing what can be made with Lego are also welcome.

How is this social group being affected by the topic and the changes of this topic?

People who are familiar with Lego would be interested in new projects or even job opportunities for Lego. Some may be interested in simply building anything they want or even seeing some of their favorite Lego characters come to life. Others may be interested in seeing what other people have made with Lego to truly understand that there are no limitations as to what can be made out of Lego.

Marketing at Seattle Pacific University

During my time as the Social Media Marketing intern at SPU, I learned how to design marketing material for a multitude of things. Such as:

- Dining events
- Limited time promotions
- Seasonal promotions
- Dining options on campus
- Dining related news
‍
and more..

Material I Designed around Seattle Pacific University

Designing for Multiple Sizes

While designing marketing material I had to consider how the designs would look both vertically and horizontally and in different sizes. I designed marketing material for a multitude of size variations including:

1080px by 1920px
1920px by 1080px
8.5in x 11in
29in x 50in
22in x 28in
23in x35in

and many more

What is Tip Top Tea Talk?

Our goal as a podcast is to create an environment similar to the comforting feeling of chatting with a friend over some tea or coffee.

Conversational

We want to ditch the scripts and make it feel and sound like we are having a genuine conversation with one another and our listeners. We are actually friends so why should we act any differently.

Chill

We want our listeners to laugh and enjoy our podcast. Keep our conversations light-hearted, fun and genuine.

Inclusive

We want as many of our listeners to get involved. Playing along with the games we play, submitting conversation topics or even appearing on the show as a guest.

Designing the Logo

When designing the logo, I wanted to make it more 'laid-back' but easy to understand. The cups being stacked but not touching was to evoke movement and catch the eye. The visual weight in the font of the name was intentional to make it easier to read. The simplicity of the letter forms makes it easy to manipulate the logo for some seasonal logo designs.

Spotify Covers

Spotify

Season 1

Making the first cover clean and simple for the podcast was my main goal. I wanted to make sure the name was clear and add a little tag to our social media account so people can check it out as well.

Summer Special

For this one-off episode special, I wanted to make a special cover for it, combining tea and summer. I thought an iced tea on the beach would be the perfect way to represent a relaxing setting to talk with someone like a friend or family member.

Season 2

I wanted to be a little more ambitious with the season 2 cover and at this time I was getting into Adobe Dimension. I combined several of the visual assets I made and items associated with tea all at a certain angle while adjusting lighting for the season 2 cover.
