The Design

About Africolor Festival Identitat Visual de Festival

El Festival Africolor és la identitat visual creada per a l'edició del trentè aniversari d'un festival de música celebrat a París. El disseny es basa en la idea de ressonància, suggerint que el festival continua ressonant a través del temps i les fronteres. Un joc tipogràfic talla i repeteix les lletres del títol per crear un ritme vibrant. La identitat és clara, directa, colorida i alegre. El cartell es produeix en dues versions contrastades, una vermella i una verda. El mateix sistema visual s'aplica a fullets, tríptics, cartells de metro, banderoles, bosses de tela i publicacions a les xarxes socials.

Production Technology: The first step of research is to make sketches on paper. Once I found the essential idea I continued the creative process on Adobe Illustrator, adapted to test different compositions. I cut the letters and duplicated them to create a vibrant rhythm. The different visuals of communication of the festival with formats as different as a poster, a kakemono or an Instagram publication were made via Illustrator and Indesign for the flyer and the brochure.
Inspiration: Africolor is celebrating its 30th anniversary this edition is therefore the year of reunion with the artists who punctuated the festival but also those of the contemporary Afro-beat electronic scene. The word that inspired this visual creation is "resonate" : the vibration of bodies souls and spirits over time, beyond borders... Africolor never stops echoing! Translated by a typographical game that makes the title vibrate, creates a joyful rhythm and suggests that the right waves are spreading.
Project Duration: The project started in march 2019 for its conception, and finished in october, and it was launched in Paris from november to december 2019, during the festival.
