The Design

About Africolor Festival Identidade Visual de Festival

O Festival Africolor é a identidade visual creada para a edición do trixésimo aniversario dun festival de música celebrado en París. O deseño baséase na idea de resonancia, suxerindo que o festival segue a resoar a través do tempo e das fronteiras. Un xogo tipográfico corta e repite as letras do título para crear un ritmo vibrante. A identidade é clara, directa, colorida e alegre. O cartaz prodúcese en dúas versións contrastantes, unha vermella e outra verde. O mesmo sistema visual aplícase a folletos, panfletos, carteis de metro, pancartas, bolsas de tea e publicacións en redes sociais.

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.
