FutureProof
Event Opener & Branding
CHALLENGE
Create an animated opener video and branding package for the 2026 edition of FutureProof, Ringling College's annual motion design conference.
Concept
FutureProof is an annual motion design conference held at Ringling College. Professionals from the motion design industry are invited to speak and connect with Ringling’s Motion Design students throughout the week-long event. Besides the speaker keynotes, FutureProof also features workshops and lectures relevant to the motion design industry, which can range from software demos to interviewing tips.

For 2026's FutureProof, I created multiple different concepts towards the start of the project, eventually choosing one I had titled "Endless Versions." I was inspired by the feeling every artist in this kind of industry gets when their imagination explodes in the ideation phase and they begin brainstorming through limitless variations of their idea. I wanted to capture the adrenaline of seeing that “v00” filename constantly tick up with every new change in direction on the never-ending road to that “final” version (which we all know is never truly final).

Custom Typeface
My branding for FutureProof 2026 features its own typeface, titled "Versioning," which the logo also uses. It utilizes a modular, pixel-style system that can also be used in 3D, similar to the logo's appearance in the conference opener.
Logo Variations
Posters
Part of out deliverables included a series of promo posters for the event. Rather than create static print posters, I wanted to hone in on the motion side of motion design by making animated posters for both vertical and horizontal screens.
