My involvement with the #ALIA2012 social media team has meant I've spread my discovery wings to quite a few new places this year - one of those was the process of designing button badges for the team to wear during the conference.
We considered a few options for identifying the team (there'll be a post over at the ALIA Biennial blog later this month which chats about that) and settled on badges as a good option. I would have loved to have created pins but time was working against us. Cost was also a factor.
Anyway, I threw some designs together, hunted around on the internet for a supplier, and ended up going with RW Promotion who, I have to say, were absolutely brilliant to deal with.
I found the creative process really interesting - I learned a whole lot more about using word art and drawing shapes in Publisher than I realised. It may seem quite a simple thing to some (especially if you're often designing yourself) but for me this was a hefty step forward... now I'm off to design some more button badges.
