Problem:
You're launching the Space Safari Festival, aiming for a branding strategy that captures the event's adventurous spirit across various platforms.

Solution: Your Design Partner
As your design partner, I tackled this challenge by first conceptualising a poster that encapsulated the festival's essence. This wasn't just a poster but a blueprint for the festival's visual identity. From this central piece, we extracted key elements that served as the building blocks for the broader branding strategy, including stickers, social media icons, and banners.

Challenge: Cohesion vs. Creativity
The main hurdle was ensuring that these extracted elements remained impactful and recognizable across all platforms without losing their connection to the overarching theme. There was a risk that the brand's message could become diluted or disjointed when applied to different formats.
