Insight

The blues genre needs a visual personality that is both "down-to-earth" and "elegant". To reflect this, the design needed to bridge the gap between traditional roots music and the contemporary, celebratory atmosphere of a major 100,000-attendee event.

Challenges

The primary challenge was to create a "bold and harmonious" identity that ensured maximum legibility and accessibility across various physical environments. Additionally, the design had to consider production efficiency, using a palette optimized for reliable CMYK reproduction and economical ink coverage.

My Solution

I utilized a palette of Gold (energy), Azure (soulful rhythm), and Dark Brown (earthy roots) to establish a soulful yet modern tone. Dynamic lines were used to guide the viewer's eye toward the featured performers such as Hozier and Vance Joy, while dark brown typography provided the strong contrast necessary for accessibility.

Takeaway

This project allowed me to explore how emotional tone and cultural symbolism can be translated into a functional design system. It strengthened my ability to deliver work that is creatively expressive while remaining grounded in practical print and production requirements.
