Wall To Wall Festival
Art for everyday life
Wall-To-Wall Mural and Culture Festival in Winnipeg, MB, is an annual celebration of mural art and cultural exchange. Through vibrant displays, performances, and interactive experiences, it fosters community connection and celebrates diverse artistic voices, both local and international.
The purpose of this project was to craft promotional materials for an event in Winnipeg. Through thorough research, I chose the Wall-To-Wall Mural and Culture Festival. Within the creative endeavour, I aimed to capture the festival’s essence through visually compelling posters and social media assets. Each poster meticulously curated imagery showcasing the vibrant murals from past years, artfully enhanced with a neutral sepia/beige gradient overlay to evoke a sense of enduring beauty and cultural richness. At the forefront of these designs stood the carefully crafted wordmark I conceptualized specifically for the event. This unique typographic arrangement of “Wall To Wall” not only served as the festival’s focal point but also became an embodiment of its dynamic spirit, ingeniously blending elements of tradition and innovation.
While this project was not officially commissioned by the festival, it represented a passionate exploration of the festival’s branding potential. Through innovative layouts and strategically extended letterforms, the design aimed to captivate viewers and spark intrigue about the festival’s immersive celebration of mural art and cultural diversity within the city. Throughout this project, I aimed to spotlight the festival’s capacity to enrapture audiences and make a mark on Winnipeg’s cultural tapestry, igniting anticipation for future years of the Wall-To-Wall Mural and Culture Festival.
