NICKELODEON SAN DIEGO COMIC CON 2017
I had the pleasure and challenge of once again working on the design of Nickelodeon's San Diego Comic Con booth for 2017. This was a huge project, made possible by an entire team at Nickelodeon and Glow Exhibitions. My role was to create the graphic elements, design the installations, and illustrate the artwork [and pineapple], and provide technical specs to the fabrication team. Process and photos below, as well as credits.
