So... I'm doing a mailer, a website homepage mockup & a name tag as my artifacts for the X-AM conference. The mailer will include information about the conference and a bio about Rick Griffith (the "main speaker" in this hypothetical situation). The background will be image based, the inside will be one of the X-AM in red and blue images I have taken already- it will be an Ah-Ha poster moment. Cool. The website will be heavily image based but with HUGE contrasting type, either generated through the links or the title itself. The name tag will take the form of a necklace probably with two parts (your name and the conference name/year). The triangle shape will reference the idea of fracture/fragmentation that my conference is pretty much focused on.

name tag: looks like the name is actually nice and large, which surprisingly many people fail to do. watch the sharpness of the triangle b/c it might catch on garments and such. plus it may get easily bent up. good idea but a bit problematic as it stands. maybe just tame it down a bit.
website (i think): work up some wireframes before you do visual stuff so you are accounting properly for main content areas and not just huge logos and menus on there. the idea of huge type is interesting for sure, but make sure there is adequate room for content.
mailer: make sure you know where this piece shows up on your communications timeline, b/c that will dictate how much info should be on it. recall our "batman poster" conversation.
We had a batman poster conversation? I vaguely remember that but that's because you were talking to someone else and I perked up when I heard the word "batman." I don't remember the context of the conversation beyond a visual and a date...... ><
