Merge Music Festival
Merge Music Festival is a conceptual event that I created to celebrate the return of in-person events after the COVID-19 pandemic.

As virtual events painstakingly continued for more than a year, festival goers had to forgo many of the tangible experiences that make festivals so great. In creating the branding for the festival, I wanted to focus on more hand drawn looking elements, producing a human touch to contrast the apparent absence of it from the past year.

Poster + Physical Tickets
Ticket + Digital Passport
The dynamic curved lines in the branding express movement, again something that was missing from virtual events as we would experience them from the comfort of our couch. I kept the colours heavily saturated as a nod to the imagined intensity of returning to in-person events after such a long absence.

Stage Scrim
Since these elements needed to be applied from stage scrims to tickets, it was important that I create a range of elements with the flexibility to address these varied needs.

The designs were made to convey a lively energy, echoing the excitement of standing shoulder to shoulder with thousands of strangers, all singing the same song and sharing the same experience.
