About 
The Plug Awards is an awards banquet and ceremony that celebrates the mentors of the creative industry. The award highlights people that elevates lesser-known talent, giving them opportunities beyond their current scope. In essence, Get On. Put On.

I was brought on to help create graphics/motion graphics for the ceremony as well as helped create graphics for social media channels.

Design Exploration

Overall design is an evolution of last year's branding (furthest left asset). Explored different treatments on photos, positioning/size of text, etc. We ultimately landed on the last design as a basis for this year's award banquet.

Since this is being built out for a template, wanted to make photo and name replacement streamlined (so simple photo frame and stacking the name to reduce the chances of a name being too long for the graphic).
