STAGES Presents: The Future Is Yours — Event Branding & Creative Direction

I designed the full visual identity for STAGES Presents: The Future Is Yours, a music industry event held at Sunderland City Hall aimed at supporting emerging DJs, producers, and creatives. The event brought together guest speakers and industry leaders from globally recognised brands including Defected, Glitterbox, HE.SHE.THEY., and Hot Creations.

The project involved creating a bold, vibrant campaign that captured the energy of the electronic music scene while remaining accessible to young creatives entering the industry. I developed a cohesive visual system used across a wide range of materials including outdoor advertising, posters, social media assets, artist cards, name badges, and presentation slides.

The bright gradient palette, large typographic elements, and dynamic graphic accents were designed to stand out in both digital and physical environments, helping the event reach new audiences and create a strong visual presence across Sunderland.

This project demonstrates my ability to deliver end-to-end event branding, translating a creative concept into a consistent visual language across multiple formats and touchpoints.
