The Design

About Africolor Festival Identidade Visual de Festival

O Africolor Festival é a identidade visual criada para a edição de trigésimo aniversário de um festival de música realizado em Paris. O projeto parte da ideia de ressonância, sugerindo que o festival continua ecoando através do tempo e das fronteiras. Um jogo tipográfico recorta e repete as letras do título para criar um ritmo vibrante. A identidade é clara, direta, colorida e alegre. O cartaz é produzido em duas versões contrastantes, uma vermelha e outra verde. O mesmo sistema visual é aplicado a brochuras, folhetos, cartazes de metrô, banners, ecobags e publicações em 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.
