Project Overview

String Theory was part of a large, half-quarter class project where I was tasked with establishing the visual identity for an imaginary music festival that would feature music of my choice. The required deliverables included a poster, teaser video, environmental application, festival merchandise, and a festival accessory.

Reflection

This project was uniquely challenging because it was my most difficult quarter of all of college. I was under an incredible amount of emotional stress due to personal family matters, however my resilience and grit throughout this project is something I will always remember moving forward.

  1. Working alone was a disservice to myself and teammates would have been valuable as long as I kept consistent communication.

  1. Learned how to extend a visual system to a wide variety of touchpoints.
