I was tasked with designing four sets of vibrant, color-coded laminate badges for The Beach Boys to manage access for crew, press, and attendees at their shows. The badges feature custom surf-inspired artwork, reflecting the band's iconic aesthetic, and clearly identify access levels such as All Access, Backstage, and Meet & Greet. To enhance security, the band and crew rotate through the laminate colors for each show.
The surfer image was processed in Adobe Photoshop, where I created duotone versions to match the five color themes of the laminates. Additionally, I recreated The Beach Boys logo in vector format using Adobe Illustrator, replacing the previously used JPG version. This allowed for seamless integration with the surfer artwork and enabled quick color adjustments to align with the project’s requirements.
All design elements were finalized in Adobe Illustrator and exported as high-resolution PDFs. These files were then sent to a print shop, where they were printed on heavy card stock and sealed in durable laminate, ensuring professional-quality badges for the band’s use.
