Building a visual language
Brief
Visual art and music have always had a natural relationship. Both appeal to our emotions. They can make us feel anything from joy to sadness and allow us to immerse ourselves in those feelings, almost like characters in a story.
For this brief, you will need to brand a new music festival. Develop a brand story for the festival and create a distinct Visual Brand Language to express this brand’s personality and core values.
Using stylised illustration, you must develop a conceptual “visual environment” that will allow your audience to immerse themselves in your brand story. This graphical environment needs to be applied across a number of formats. You will also need to create and compile a library of reusable visual assets that you can creatively apply across design applications.
Apply these design elements to the following:
-
An official festival webpage and social media pages.
-
Promotional posters.
-
Festival outdoor branding elements (i.e. banners, line-up etc.).
-
Promotional items
Concept
The final concept I chose was a film festival I named Overture, an orchestral music festival that has live renditions of movie scores while films play in the background
