Context

Parrotdog is a brewery and community space based in Wellington, New Zealand. Promotional materials were commissioned to support the marketing of a live music event, bringing together a diverse lineup of artists from across the country.

The project involved graphic design and creative direction, with a visual language utilised to reflect the event’s bold and evolving musical journey. Minimal typography was paired with psychedelic, evolving animation to create a sense of movement and energy. The outcome was a suite of digital and physical assets used across social media and city-wide posters that assisted in the promotion of the event.
