Sound Waves
The promotional artwork aimed to capture the exhilaration and vibrancy of the cinematic experience on the big screen, as intended by the filmmakers. To convey this, we opted for vivid, energetic colors and visualized the excitement through sound waves generated from recordings of people's enthusiasm for movies. Centered around the festival's core themes - Excite, Connect, Inspire, and Explore - we collaborated with animators to integrate these sound waves into the main artwork of each festival poster, ensuring a dynamic and engaging visual representation.

Cross-Team Collaboration
Bringing art to life
Collaborating with fellow designers and animators on our team, we animated and produced a dynamic video trailer for the film festival. Incorporating a risograph-style aesthetic with vibrant neons, gritty textures, and energetic music, we brought the essence of the festival to life, seamlessly integrating elements from our poster art to capture its spirited energy and excitement.
