A live comedy show/networking event, intended to connect industry leaders, influencers, artists, and creatives. Held at the visually stunning Race Service in Mid-City, the production team married a bold aesthetic to their great taste in comedy to create a show that audiences are still raving about.

The assets for this show included the invitation, an interactive RSVP website, in-person event branding and design. I took a very simplistic color approach for the event. However, instead of using traditional primary colors often seen in racing, I went with pink.

The pink theme was carried throughout the venue especially with the lighting. And since we planned it at a cool race car garage, there was no shortage of cars staged around the venue, including a vintage Ferrari.

This event was not-for-profit, instead we asked all of our attendees to donate to the Bric Foundation. And just like our cheeky donation posters say, the Bric Foundation’s goal is to increase representation in the entertainment, gaming, media, and tech industries.
