LCHT Colorado Project Conference Materials Design
The following images are from a range of materials designed for the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking's Colorado Project State and National Conferences, held over a span of three days in Denver, Colorado in early March 2013.
A Prezi presentation, as well as the two conference banners, on display at the start of the national conference.
Amanda Finger and A.J. Alejano-Steele, the two incredible co-founders of the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking, addressing the national conference attendees.
Andrew Romanoff, former Colorado Speaker of the House, opening the state conference by sharing a story about how important it is the address human trafficking in our state.
Attendees listen to the opening speakers, including several LCHT staff members and Brad Riley of iEmpathize.
4P Sticker Design
Icons were created to represent each of the "4Ps" in the human trafficking movement, recognized nationally and internationally as the four areas which must be addressed in order to effectively combat human trafficking and the baseline for the Colorado Project research, which sought to discover promising practices based around these 4Ps happening around the U.S., so that they could be adapted and applied in local communities. Several versions were created in order to function well for varying applications.
Executive Summary Booklet
This 100-page booklet was designed so that conference attendees could review highlights (the Executive Summary) from the Colorado Project research project. In addition to the Executive Summary, the booklet included several infographics and charts, highlighting key information, as well as note-taking sheets and contact information sheets for attendees to use during the conference.
Name Tag Booklets
These name tags, doubling as conference agendas, were created for all participants. LCHT staff members were given a version with the LCHT logo included, as well as a darker front cover section, so that conference attendees could spot whom they were able to ask questions from. Original idea adapted from designers at Facebook.
4P stickers were applied individually, based on each attendees area of expertise (either Prevention, Protection, Prosecution or Partnerships). My experience is in Prevention and Partnerships, so those two stickers are displayed. Text indicated that attendees should "Talk to me about" these areas, prompting dialogue during the conference.
Two separate versions were created, one for the state conference and one for the national conference.
The back of the name tags included a vertical pocket, so that business cards or hotel room keys could all be kept in one place. Since dialogue was such a huge part of the conference (and the project), we wanted to really facilitate conversation and cut down on how many different places conference-goers would be having to stick things or the number of things they'd have to carry around. The back page, also displayed here, hints at how deeply the organization strives to be sustainable in all ways, including our paper choices. Additional resources about sustainable design can be found at livingprinciples.org.
Name tags (around attendees' necks) and booklets (in hand) in action.
Conference Poster
This poster served as the key takeaway from the conference, displaying all elements uncovered that comprise each of the 4Ps, so that attendees may use this information as a reference down the road.
Conference Signage
These two seven-foot banners were created to welcome attendees to the conference. They can be seen in action in the first couple of photos at the top of this project.
