Even before getting to Otis, at age 15, Chevon Hicks (’95, Fine Arts) knew what he
wanted to do: express himself in a digital medium; his ensuing career path has merely
been an exercise in connecting the dots. In high school, he worked at the Kresser/Craig
ad agency. After graduating from Otis, Chevon jumped directly into the world of graphic
and interactive design, and has yet to hit the pause button. ...
Hicks began as a freelancer, and soon worked his way into top positions at MGM Creative
Advertising, Attitude Network, Sony Online Entertainment and Universal New Media.
By 2000, he had his first commercial space, and officially incorporated and opened
the doors of his company, Heavenspot. Through Heavenspot, Hicks has directed music
videos and acted as design director on various film/television/commercial products.
Hicks describes his work on Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle as a real career-defining
moment that was a pleasure to work on as well as a fantastic opportunity to showcase
the full extent of his talents.
Since then, Hicks’ work has again touched the silver screen via the company’s interactive
website launch for Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny, a feature film released by
New Line Cinema. Chevon and Heavenspot continue to rack up nods for award-winning
designs in Motion Graphics/Animation for Broadcast & Film as well as Web/Interactive,
Games, Mobile Content, Illustration, Brand Identity and Print/Online Advertising.
Heavenspot has developed a roster of top clients that include Hasbro Games, Sony Online
Entertainment, Motorola, ABC Family, American Greetings, and Amp'd Mobile.
