In 2017, Lockheed Martin hosted the prestigious NOVA Awards, honoring over 500 employees for their exceptional contributions. As the lead designer, I developed all print materials and motion graphics for the event, which is the company's most significant annual ceremony, hosted by CEO Marillyn Hewson. The challenge was to create a cohesive design system for both print and digital platforms, while integrating practical elements like lighting and set design, all within a $20K budget. The result was a visually stunning event that was highly regarded for its seamless execution and celebration of Lockheed Martin's top talent.

The 2017 NOVA Awards program for Lockheed Martin Corporation required the development of a comprehensive design system that could be applied across various platforms, from print materials such as invitations, menus, and brochures, to digital content such as signage and web promotions. The system would also need to be incorporated into the practical aspects of the event, including lights, sounds, and overall set design. The objective was to create a cohesive and visually appealing environment for the event that reflected the importance of the NOVA Awards while adhering to a budget of $20,000.

Using my expertise as the lead designer for the 2017 Nova Awards program at Lockheed Martin Corporation, I created a comprehensive design system that served as the theme for the entire ceremony. The design system was implemented across all aspects of the event, from print collateral such as invitations, menus, and brochures to digital content used for signage and web promotions. Practical items such as lighting, sound, and set design were also based on the design system, ensuring a cohesive and visually stunning event. The project was completed within the allotted budget of 20 thousand dollars and was regarded as one of the best events of the year due to the location, attendance of executive leadership, and recognition of award recipients within the company.

The 2017 NOVA Awards event was a resounding success, receiving accolades for its cohesive design and seamless execution. The comprehensive design system effectively unified all print and digital materials, contributing to an engaging and memorable experience for over 500 attendees. Feedback indicated that the event not only highlighted the exceptional contributions of Lockheed Martin employees but also strengthened company morale and culture. The event remained within the $20K budget, showcasing efficient resource management and creativity in design.
