Constellation boards emerged from this brainstorming phase as a team favorite!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, I adjusted and fitted constellations sourced from Adobe Stock, ready for silkscreening&nbsp;onto a special run of PCBs to be printed for the occasion. Since we had product specs in hand but no photos yet,&nbsp;I whipped up some&nbsp;vector illustrations of the finished boards &amp; the processors they would be paired with, for the deal that was set to run during the product release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose of the first in this set of images was to serve as the featured content banner representing this promotion on SparkFun&#8217;s sales website, sparkfun.com . The second image was for use as a teaser image in our weekly newsletter, and the remaining three were varied options to represent the deal as it ran throughout our website and newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only stock elements used here (under a paid Adobe Stock license) are the starfields seen in the backgrounds of these first three images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A detailed description of the promotion is available here:&nbsp;https:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/news\/5462<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All complete visuals in this project are copyright SparkFun Electronics, 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this 2022 SparkFun promotion, I started with&nbsp;a series of sketches and early drafts&nbsp;around ideas for a short run of promotional printed circuit boards.
