The Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview Product Guide was designed and produced specifically for Microsoft’s Build 2011 conference, marking the release of Visual Studio 11 and Windows 8. Working closely with the Visual Studio team, I carefully adhered to pre-release branding guidelines while ensuring the guide effectively showcased new features such as Metro-style application development and enhancements in the .NET Framework 4.5.

I managed the complete design process, including layout in Adobe InDesign, creating original custom graphics in Illustrator, overseeing print production, and selecting appropriate paper stock to ensure a high-quality tactile experience. This guide was one among several key Visual Studio projects I developed, including the TFS Preview "Golden Ticket" invites and the Visual Studio Partner Portal, all contributing to a unified and compelling developer experience at the Build event.
