Context

Mouthfull Radio is an independent station broadcasting across Australia and New Zealand. This ongoing collaboration supports the station’s events, community initiatives, and musical releases through event campaigns, animations, and creative direction.

The project encompasses graphic design and creative direction, with a visual language developed to reflect Mouthfull’s DIY roots and vibrant, playful, inclusive identity. Work includes event campaigns, animations, and promotional materials designed to engage the community and celebrate the station’s music and cultural programming. The outcome is a cohesive and brand appropriate range of digital and physical assets, featured across social media and print, to support events, compilation releases, brand identity, and social outreach initiatives.
