Thursday 9th Feb: Today Tracy gave a talk about ‘LADfest’, which stands for ‘Latin American Design Festival’. She talked about the deliverables, brand collateral and how we should be thinking about the users. She showed us their teaser video, which was very bright, bold and colourful and had a bit of an attitude to it. This really inspired me because their video is very simple but it really portrays the company. It shows the company’s style and also gives us valuable information such as the speakers, the date and the location. Tracy reminded us that it is important to include boring details like the dates and venue.

Tracy also talked about making our outcomes as fun and interesting and different as possible, not just sticking our logo onto different things. For example, thinking about other visual sources such as sound, movement and taste. Also, thinking about how to build unique features into our merchandise  to capture our audience’s attention, such as intelligent textiles, interiors, exteriors and even planting.

After Tracy’s talk, Jane then did a talk about her journey through festival photography and festival design. She told us about how she started out doing amateur photography at festivals and then asking a company if she could redesign their festival programme, saying ‘sometimes it pays to be cheeky’. The company agreed and she worked with them on a new programme and then a new festival identity. The festival was Beatherder Festival. 

Jane then talked about Kate Maross, who is playful and bold with type. She explained that although the type sometimes looks jumbled, it also has an order, structure and hierarchy of how she wants you to read it, and your eyes always follow that order. I really like Kate Maross’ work, although I don’t know that it’s appropriate for my own festival design.

Ladfest

Today I was introduced to Latin American Design Festival, aka ‘Ladfest’. I found the brand identity for this festival very appealing and cleverly created, as the logo is relatively subtle, but the bright colours counteract that by allowing the merchandise and branding to stand out and attract attention.

Prologue is the mysterious next game from Playerunknown https://ift.tt/34fKuoM

Brendan “Plunk” Greene today announced his next game after the battle royale ladfest of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, a mysterious game named Prologue. It is… a video game? About… something? But it’s not a battle royale, and apparently not even connected to Plunkbat. This is the first game from Playerunknown Productions, the new research-y division Greene left the Plunkteam to lead earlier this year. Here, have a look at some wet trees in the announcement trailer below.

Speaking at the national theater from Lima @ladfest, probably one of the best locations I had the chance to go on stage so far #speaking #womenspeaker #womanspeaker (at Lima, Peru)

Travels with a donkey in the Cevennes, written by Robert Louis Stevenson, narrates the 12-day journey of the author through the mountains of the Cevennes with a stubborn donkey, Modestine. The intent of the project was to recreate the experience narrated by the author. First, through the material chosen for the cover, a fabric that mimics the aspect of the donkey's skin. Second, through the alignment of the text – aligned to the outer margins –, which visually creates a rough path, similar to the one presented in the story. The path created by the alignment is marked along the book with the cities that the author passed through, which can be better seen on the map in the first pages. —Published by Carambaia.

Initial research: Design festivals

OFFF Barcelona

Pictured above: OFFF’s 2017 New Senses campaign by Outro Studio. [source]

“During the past 17 years, we’ve been trying to put a title for the question: what is OFFF?

OFFF has proudly joined artists such as Joshua Davis, Stefan Sagmeister, John Maeda, Neville Brody, Kyle Cooper, The Mill, Digital Kitchen, Ben Fry & Casey Reas, Golan Levin, Filipe Carvalho, Ash Thorp, Chris Milk, Rob Chiu, Julien Vallée, Paula Scher, Rick Poynor, Erik Spiekermann, Dvein, Imaginary Forces, Erik Natzke, Casey Neistat and the list goes on.

It is more than just a Festival hosting innovative and international speakers, it is more than a meeting point for all talents around the world to collaborate, it is more than feeding the future.

OFFF is a community inviting all those who are eager to learn to participate and get inspired in a three-day journey of conferences, workshops, activities and performances. What is it about exactly? It’s a combination of Offline/Online designers, Motion Designers, Thinkers, Sound Designers, Graphic Designers, Theorists, Developers, Professionals, Students… Putting the titles aside, OFFF is made for the curious.

OFFF takes place in Barcelona annually, while it tours the world as OFFF on Tour for the rest of the year”. [source]

Thoughts and reflection: I think OFFF’s logo is quite fresh and playful, and works really well with the light approach they seem to have taken in their design. I like that they’ve used shapes as well as type, and I think that designing first in black and white is a good idea, because it allows you to focus first and foremost on the design and its effectiveness, without choices of colour dictating the direction it takes.

I’m a fan of OFFF’s design and art direction as it leaves a lot of room to develop an interesting visual language. And that’s what they’ve seem to have done over the years- they seem to constantly reinvent themselves, all the way maintaining a consistency and feel. 

-ING Creative Festival

“ING is the creative agency responsible for the annual ING Creative Festival, which is taking place this year from April 28 to 30 at Dubai Design District. "ING is a suffix for doing and making," Alawssy explains. "I realised that there aren’t many workshops that take place at conferences. A lot of conferences are focused on talks, and a lot of those talks are focused on showing work. But I wanted to see a festival – and a community – that would go beyond inspiration and really push the idea of making things."

When Alawssy says "things", he means it in the very broadest sense of the word. "It could be anything from fashion to graphic design, to illustration. Depending on the discipline of the speaker, they need to share their process. So if the speaker is a world-renowned illustrator who makes posters, we want them to show the process of making posters through a workshop. If they are an incredible graphic designer who makes beautiful books, they can explain the bookbinding process." “ [source]

London Design Festival

The London Design Festival was conceived by Sir John Sorrell and Ben Evans. Building on London's existing design activity, their concept was to create an annual event that would promote the city's creativity, drawing in the country's greatest thinkers, practitioners, retailers and educators to a deliver an unmissable celebration of design.

LADFEST (Latin American Design Festival)

Pictured above: LADFest’s 2015 branding by IS Creative Studio. [source]

“A celebration of Latin American creativity and visual arts.” [source]

“LADFEST 2016 consists of one day of workshops and two days of conferences celebrating graphic design and visual communication with the aim of inspiring, educating and promoting Latin American Design. LADFEST is the key to spreading graphic design and visual arts culture in the continent and supporting the design scene, creating a community space for over 700 professionals, students and enthusiasts while providing new ideas and promoting the highest standards for the field. It’s the one and only Latin American Design festival held in Lima, Peru.” [source]

Thoughts and reflection on the festival’s identity: I like the choice to use vibrant neon colours throughout, as opposed to just as accent colours. It didn’t immediately strike me as a design festival when I first saw the logo, as the angled, lightning bolt style text was in my opinion, more reminiscent of something belonging to a rock band from the 80s than it was a design festival. That’s not to say I don’t like it though, it’s quite refreshing to see. It isn’t until you see the paper sizes in the pieces that you begin to realise what it’s about, so that component really does make all the difference.

In terms of my own project, I think that a good logo for a design festival might take quite a neutral stance; something clean and minimal, not too stylised. I think that this would help the focus to be what’s on at the event without overpowering the idea of it. If it’s more neutral, it’s open to possibilities.

D&AD New Blood Festival 

“‘Bringing industry and new creative talent face to face. Launching careers.’

New Blood Festival brought together students and industry professionals for a double whammy of Fringe events and an exhibition at The Old Truman Brewery in the heart of east London. In short, it was all about getting everyone excited and inspired by the future of commercial creativity.

Exclusively for students, recent graduates and other young creatives, the Fringe offered talks, workshops, screenings and tours of top agencies and studios. The exhibition saw university courses from around the UK showing off the very best student’s work from the past year. It gave industry professionals the chance to meet new talent and young creatives the opportunity to network and skill up.” [source]

Thoughts and reflection on D&AD’s logo design: A big part of design is the messages we choose and intent to communicate, and to me, the composition of D&AD’s logo with the letters laid out at different angles, symbolises/ conveys the idea of messages, communication and consideration. It’s consistent and minimal and I think well thought out in terms of what’s being communicated and intended for the viewer to take from the design.
