Southern Screen

Brand identity and illustrations for South Louisiana festival

Shifting from a traditional film festival to a more expansive entertainment event, Southern Screen was in need of a visual rebrand that reflected this shift. With an updated brand identity, Southern Screen was able to showcase its addition of live podcasts, music, and a variety of other entertainment mediums while still leaving room for future growth. The more stylized, youthful direction allowed a stronger visual identity and even earned the organization a 2019 Communication Arts Award of Excellence.

Emerging from the cocoon

2021 took inspiration from the strange feeling of re-entering public life. Made to capture the feeling of emerging after a long slumber to rejoin and rejoice in the light.
