The 2019 Air Force Ball features an overall theme of "Spy Vs. Spy", proposed by the event’s annual committee. Working with this, I made the initial decision to maintain a strictly black and white color scheme for emphasis on the clandestine nature of espionage and depictions of "Black and White" while also overlapping with the formal elements of a "Black Tie” event. 

The bisected bow tie further strengthens this theme where the lower negative space forms the inverse silhouette of a vague "spy" character. For the distinct human silhouettes on either side, "finger guns" replace the appearance of weapons to add levity and disperse direct notions of violence pertaining to a military-affiliated event. 

Using this logo, I subsequently built layouts for all printed media used throughout the event, including tickets, posters, invites, programs, signs, shadow boxes, commemorative glasses, the formal cake, and other miscellaneous stationery items. I coordinated the print-ready files with third-party companies to professionally print the necessary amount of material in bulk.
