In December I once again sponsored and helped create all of the materials for CBHDA's annual Behavioral Health Policy Forum. This year the conference took place at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. I designed name tags, signage, the program and promotional items. I also presented a seminar called, "Consumer Engagement Through Good Design," where I went over the basics of branding and some simple design principles. I ended the presentation by redesigning a flyer live on stage... a flyer that I pulled off the internet from one of the participant organizations... so the creator of the original (pretty bad) flyer could have been in the audience! (gulp) The forum was a tremendous success and I am proud to have been a sponsor.
