Fuse x NDF x The Factory: Spring Social
In collaboration with Northern Design Festival (NDF), Fuse Manchester, and The Factory, I created the illustrations for Spring Social, a networking event focused on fostering a welcoming and creative community. The design aimed to capture the casual and lively atmosphere of the event, where creatives could connect, share ideas, and thrive together.
I illustrated a diverse and friendly group of people engaging in conversations, sketching, and enjoying the event, reinforcing the inclusive and vibrant spirit of the gathering. The design team at NDF (shoutout to Hajer and Tom!) refined the overall composition, typography, and colour palette, ensuring the final posters were bold, inviting, and full of spring energy.
The Spring Social event features workshops, networking opportunities, and relaxed socialising, making it an exciting space for creatives to come together.
Sketching Out History
This promotional poster was designed for Sketching Out History, a community mural workshop series in Oldham, created in collaboration with the Crossley Community Centre and Peshkar. The design captures the spirit of collective storytelling and historical reflection, encouraging residents to share their memories and experiences of Oldham. The visual style merges bold, dynamic illustration with historical and cultural references, making it both engaging and informative. The QR code directs participants to a digital survey, ensuring accessibility and interaction.
To promote Sketching Out History across different platforms, I created multiple variations of the main poster. These included alternative layouts for print, digital adaptations for Instagram, and story-sized graphics optimized for engagement. Each version retained the core message while adjusting composition, typography, and colours for different formats. The Instagram posts were designed to be eye-catching in a feed, using concise text and strong visuals to encourage participation.
