Solution
Inspired by the metaphor of buildings as visual poetry, the theme uses the typographic layout of a poetic stanza. Dramatic shapes and forms of words and buildings are used in an elegant design. The classic Didot typeface was used to represent the timeless New York aesthetic. A simple color palette of blue, light brown, black and white repeats the common colors of buildings. Form follows function for the event’s giveaway items and branding.
