Work Description:
Since its 2009 inception, Cross Connections International has blossomed into a vibrant global design festival, reaching its pinnacle with the upcoming Cross Connections 2024, the fourth edition. Collaboratively organized by UTRGV, IMAS, and the BMFA, this dynamic event includes an international design competition, a juried exhibition, and design thinking webinars. With active participation from numerous global higher education institutions, the CC-2024 exhibition promises a melting pot of creative expression, featuring 180 diverse designworks. The theme, "Unleash Your Creativity: Explore Your Designs Beyond Borders, Cultures, Concepts, Media, and Disciplines," encapsulates a fusion of contemporary visual communication designs and emerging trends. For more information about the event, please visit the event proposal and guidelines at http://cross-connections.com/cc-2024_proposal-guidelines.pdf
The call for entries poster campaign, available in multiple languages, cleverly incorporates the double "C" symbol mark of Cross Connections event. "CROSS CONNECTIONS 2024" and descriptors elegantly curve into the outer letter "C," while "CALL FOR ENTRIES" artfully conforms to the inner letter "C". This attention not only symbolizes the event's essence but also highlights its global reach and inclusive spirit, making Cross Connections 2024 a transcendent celebration of creativity and design innovation.
