Strategic visual communication with heart.
A visual campaign and festival identity created for Bristol Refugee Festival (2023-2026). Tailored specifically to the festival theme, the project includes the main event poster, flyer, printed collateral, and social media assets, all developed as part of one consistent visual system celebrating sanctuary and community.

Intentional aesthetics & thoughtful execution.
Anchored in Bristol Refugee Festival’s official brand palette and institutional guidelines, the design uses bold typography, dynamic colour blocking, and playful graphic elements to celebrate the theme of Courage across print and digital platforms. Each campaign format was adapted to remain clear, recognisable and visually impactful at different scales while faithfully expressing the client’s vibrant identity.
