Brought to you by Symbian and Flickerbox
Earlier this month, Flickerbox designed posters, postcards, and stickers for Laura Merling of Symbian.org to promote Symbian’s Hack-a-thon event at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2009, June 8-12, in San Francisco.
With 3 days to complete the project, it was a great team effort and quick coordination with Laura on the content development. Tom Risse, one of our rockstar Designers, worked on the concept and design, and Lily Lam, calm and collected stand-in Producer, worked alongside Laura on the hectic one-day content development and print coordination. Laura was committed to the project, easy to collaborate with, just ran with what was thrown at her, and still delivered a smile at the end of a long day.
A job well done by Tom on the visual side of things, quick handle on client revisions, and having to work through a power outage due to a heavy storm system passing through our Portland Office (literally). Back in SF, the print vendors were on standby with the presses all ready to go. Without a moment to spare, we delivered the final designs to the printers for next day turnaround. A fun-filled Flickerbox production day, to be sure.
The final posters, postcards, and stickers were a big hit; they reinforced the fun, vibrant Symbian energy and messaging. One of the posters even made it on CNET – “Symbian tries to crash Apple’s WWDC party.”
The print vendors we used on this project were Rocket Postcards and Dynamite Digital, both based in San Francisco’s SOMA district. After dropping the “Can you complete this job by tomorrow?” bomb on them, both were incredibly patient, easy to work with, and delivered a quality product in our crazy timeframe. You guys rock!
Final high-fives to Todd and Elizabeth, who kept everyone in the office calm by providing back massages and constant coffee refills (does that even make sense?).
