Being technophiles, we were excited to hear that our very own Raleigh, North Carolina was going to host the event in 2010. When NC State University’s Institute for Advanced Analytics, this year’s conference organizer, contacted us about designing a promotional poster for the event, we ran several laps around our office screaming, “Tim Berners-Lee!”

Working with the Institute for Advanced Analytics was a sheer pleasure. They provided valuable insights and clear direction. Once we understood where they needed the WWW2010 promotional poster to go, they gave us the creative reigns. We explored several different aspects of this year’s conference and decided to focus on interactivity and creation with the “hands” poster. The institute was so happy with this poster, they asked us to do a companion poster. For the “sphere” poster, we focused on the web’s ever evolving form.
