The Visual Graphic Design Conference is the premier graphic design event in southern Philippines, crafted by designers, for designers. The conference spotlights seven of Vis-Min (Visayas & Mindanao) leading graphic designers and artists, allowing them to share their success stories, showcase their remarkable works, and delve into their unique design processes. This event serves as a vibrant platform for creative minds.
In preparation for the 3rd Visual Graphic Design Conference held last February 2013, "Visual Creative Elements" was developed as a custom software art that creates map or terrain-like meshes in three-dimensional space, suitable as design elements for print, web, and motion graphics. The interplay between user-manipulated formations and the random movements of the elements offers endless design possibilities.
The inspiration for the design is rooted in maps and terrains, symbolizing the journeys and global reach of Vis-Min designers. Many of this year's speakers stand out as renowned Filipino artists and designers who have either established themselves abroad or have worked with iconic studios/media companies such as Industrial Light & Magic, Marvel Comics, Wired Magazine, and Gulf News.
Upon exploring the various results provided by the application, the user is then given control to either cease the animation of the element for review or directly generate graphic material in a format usable for print, web, and video. The tool is capable of exporting high-resolution 'jpg' or transparent 'png' files. Vector-based formats are also available, as well as animations for motion material.
Website
Transparent images generated by the software were used as elements for the website.

The high-resolution and vector outputs of the software were applied to various print materials.
Sponsor's Loop Presentation
The video output of the animated elements was easily added to the sponsor's loop presentation, which played on a large screen throughout the duration of the event.
Opening Intro
Some looks and forms of the elements were interpreted and integrated into the opening intro.
The software has been a key factor in the success of the conference, as it provides Visual with an interminable amount of supporting elements that are essential to the design and creation of the conference’s collaterals and videos.
