USITT Conference Exhibit Seattle 2024
This was my first show designing for projections. I was very fortunate that my school rented a very nice laser projector and I was able to learn a lot from using it.
Going into the show I knew I do not have strong art skills. Luckily I had an assistant designer with better skills than I. We developed a system of collaborating. I created a digital mask for Olivia to add art inside of and project. I also created a little scale worksheet for myself to draw ideas. I could then pass that on to Olivia who would add color and make it look better.
