Hosting any event takes much coordination, cooperation and a great amount of team work. The last thing anyone would want is for all of their hard work ultimately look unorganized and unprofessional. Just like you may have different committees or departments handling certain areas of the planning, you may also want a design firm to handle the visual graphics for your event.

Tribe has been creating graphics for the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship (Rice Alliance) for nearly seven years. We design posters, web banners, ads, flyers and brochures to promote several of their venture forums.

Rice Alliance is Rice University’s nationally-recognized initiative devoted to the support of technology commercialization, entrepreneurship education, and the launch of technology companies. Its mission is to support the creation of technology-based companies and the commercialization of new technologies in the Houston community and Southwest.



The look and feel of an event can have many options. If you are not sure what you are trying to visually communicate, ask yourself a few basic questions:

    - Who is your audience and what is their purpose for attending?

    - What is the mood and experience of the event?

    - What will your attendees take away from the event?

This will help narrow down the design directions.

Ultimately, if a professional handles the design of your graphics, the event itself will look “professional”. We strive not only to appeal to your target audience but to convey important information quickly and clearly. By making your event visually appealing and interesting - the attendance is sure to follow.

“Tribe Design has worked with us for a number of years to help promote our Technology Venture Forums. The challenge is to keep the approach to these events fresh and appealing and draw attendance. Each year Tribe has created new and exciting designs that cater to our audience and help sell out the conferences.

In addition to their great design work, Francisco, Marta and the whole team are wonderful to work with. They are responsive, they listen to our needs and always come through with a quality product on time. It is always a pleasure to work with them.”
