Graphic Design AssistantAlleycon2014Kwangju, South KoreaSep 2014 - Sep 2014This was a volunteer opportunity while I was teaching English in South Korea. I had a chance to assist the main Art Director for a non-profit event called Alleycon, a geek convention for expatriates and Koreans alike. Named for the First Alleyway (and the first location of the event), a restaurant catering to the crowds from the western world, this event brought foreigners and Koreans together to experience varying ranges of interests, such as books, sci-fy, board games, comics, action movies, and pop culture. I did the advertisements, using the Alleycon logo, built after the First Alleyway's logo.
