Project Overview
I designed and illustrated a digital clock to mark the Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary. It lived on Disneyland’s home page as well as a web page dedicated to the celebration and counted down the days until the celebration began.
Problem & Solution
I had to figure out how to encapsulate the company’s 100-year history in one graphic. The final design blended art deco motifs with the 100th anniversary style guide.

Branding
The official colors of the 100th anniversary celebration were purple and platinum and a variety of platinum gradients. It also included a facet system, shown here.
Research & Inspiration
Early creative direction for the clock included an art deco influence. Some of my inspiration was taken from around the Disneyland Resort.
Design Process & Evolution
First Iterations
Second Pass
Feedback at this stage involved simplifying and straightening the clock shape.
Third Iteration
At this point the design began to pivot from art deco to the more faceted look. Various versions of Mickey from the past 100 years would animate/fade in and out.
Final Design
The final design reflected a light art deco influence while showcasing Disney’s 100th anniversary branding.
The designs lived for a year on both the Disneyland home page and a web page dedicated to the anniversary celebration.
