Challenge

A festival needs a new poster every year and still has to look like itself. The identity must hold up on a poster, a ticket and a phone screen, and a program of around forty events has to stay easy to scan.

Approach

The word FORMA is set in letters of different widths from one variable typeface, next to a circle, a square and a triangle. The same shapes mark event types in the program and appear on the tickets, so the system works even without the logo. The program is one list per day with filters, and tickets can be bought without an account.

What we designed

  • Logo and a system of three shapes
  • Home page designed as a poster
  • Daily program with filters
  • Ticket checkout and mobile layout
