To celebrate the future of its iconic collaborative software, Figma asked Brand New School to get nostalgic for their conference.
As a 2D / 3D Design intern, I worked closely with the creative director to understand and execute his creative vision. I also collaborated with the design and motion team to design storyboards, styleframes and assets to be animated for the final piece.
BNS defined the theme and tone of the conference with an opening video that played out across five multi-screens, covering sixty years of interactive design and technological history in just sixty seconds.
The look down memory lane reminded designers to remember where we’ve come from… and prepare for where we’re going. At an event for people who build products and shape what’s next, the film stoked the flames for innovations yet to come.
The future is calling, and with a quarter million views and counting, we know the next generation is listening.
