Context

This project was completed as a visual and interaction design study for a senior-level design course. Within a span of 3 weeks, I experimented with graphic qualities and principles to develop a visual identity and art direction. 2 weeks were then spent on creating an expressive microsite for the festival.

Problem

How might we make visitors reflect on the festival theme of “on a scale of art to design” and engage more with these design sub-cultures?

The range of creative disciplines are complex for both industry insiders and the layman. By curating exclusive content that offers deeper insights into the film’s subject,

Attendees are:

  • engaging with a spectrum of creative work

  • reflecting and sharing personalized thoughts

Increasing the connection to the festival enhances the post-show experience

This leaves visitors feeling enriched and eager to return.
