Project: Das Ideenfestival 2024

Event identity for ZEIT Online’s Das Ideenfestival 2024, designed to move away from traditional hierarchical conference formats while being catered towards younger creatives and makers. Developed at A Color Bright, the visual system uses dynamic, interacting forms to reflect dialogue and collaboration.
