Why did you make this work:
Final festival designs convey unity, open minds, idea exchange, fearlessness, and sustainability. Illustrations depicted society's courage facing challenges, emphasizing the importance of not remaining silent. Flags mirror the bag's dedication to open minds, promoting self-expression and understanding. The mini-guide cover emphasizes universal communication of essential ideas.

What materials and techniques did you use?:
The project was mainly digitally created, except for the sketching and doodling I did to help myself to narrow down my ideas. I developed my ideas in ProCreate and once we agreed on the overall look and idea of the design I processed them in the Adobe Illustrator.

How were your illustrations used:
My illustrations were featured on bags, a trailer, marquees, flags, and the festival’s mini-guide, creating a consistent visual theme.
