Design Thinkers is an annual event for designers to congregate. It is an event hosted by RGD Ontario. The conference is held for two days and appeals to all sorts of visual artists and designers. The halftone pattern signifies a bright idea but is also a graphic element that portrays the visual spacing between typography. The type is finely detailed with various tracking and kerning points and the use of bold to light weight. The handout/brochure was designed as a notebook for ease of use during the conference. Day one is presented on one side and day two is on the opposite side. The color is flipped on the opposite side to signify the different days. In the middle, you can find a notepad for writing and doodling during the presentations.
