The Design

About Africolor Festival Identidad visual de festival

Africolor Festival es la identidad visual creada para la trigésima edición aniversario de un festival de música celebrado en París. El diseño parte de la idea de resonancia, sugiriendo que el festival sigue resonando a través del tiempo y de las fronteras. Un juego tipográfico corta y repite las letras del título para crear un ritmo vibrante. La identidad es clara, directa, colorida y alegre. El cartel se produce en dos versiones contrastadas, una roja y otra verde. El mismo sistema visual se aplica a folletos, volantes, carteles de metro, pancartas, bolsas de tela y publicaciones en redes sociales.

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.
