Project Scope
Role: Visual Storytelling & Design
Key Deliverables: Webinar Graphics & Promotion
Overview
Leveraging generative AI, I designed the visual identity and promotional materials for a high-profile webinar hosted by Global Knowledge. This event brought together industry giants CompTIA, EC-Council, and CQURE Academy to analyze the anatomy of significant cyber incidents.
Featuring key speakers like Dr. James Stanger (Chief Technology Evangelist, CompTIA), the webinar went beyond theory to discuss the practicalities of ethical hacking. I developed a creative concept inspired by "Scary Stories" to convey the urgency and horror of real-world breaches. This visual language resonated with IT professionals, effectively balancing technical sophistication with the emotional weight of strengthening an organization's security posture.
The Weaponized Workflow
The Concept: This piece illustrates a sophisticated Business Email Compromise (BEC) where attackers weaponized standard AI workflows. The story focuses on a "trusted" OneNote link that bypassed standard proxies via Single Sign-On (SSO), allowing a malicious app to scrape thousands of contacts in mere minutes before defenses could react.
Design Solution: I visualized this "trust exploit" by depicting the protagonist reaching for a golden key labeled "SSO Access," which represents convenience and legitimacy. The OneNote window in the background acts as the lure. By placing a monstrous trap directly beneath the key, I highlighted the danger of assuming that "verified" credentials are equivalent to safety. The sweating protagonist emphasizes the high stakes of that single, ten-minute window of vulnerability.
The Relentless, Evolving Monster
The Concept: Visualizing Ransomware not just as code, but as a living, breathing predator that evolves.
Design Solution: I used a toxic, neon-green palette to signify infection and sickness, contrasting sharply with the dark background. The red glow wrapping around the hardware symbolizes the threat's pervasive nature. It doesn't just hit one file; it suffocates the entire system. The chaotic composition mirrors the panic of a live breach.
Ignoring the Obvious Warning Signs
The Concept: "Tech Debt" is often ignored until it's too late. I wanted to depict it as a crumbling foundation.
Design Solution: Inspired by classic haunted house tropes, I depicted the organization as a decaying structure. The storm clouds gathering above symbolize the looming, inevitable crash. The executives in the foreground are depicted as small and oblivious, emphasizing the scale of the problem compared to human inaction.
