A coherent festival identity across print, motion and programme materials

alt=""

Kerry Film Festival needed a coherent identity across print, motion and programme materials before, during and after the event.

The festival champions emerging film talent and cultural programming, so its materials had to feel considered without becoming difficult to use. The work brought brand, brochure, motion and festival touchpoints into a clearer system for discovery and presentation, helping the programme feel coherent across print, digital, venue and audience settings. Each format needed enough flexibility to carry information while still feeling part of one festival identity.

Visual branding for Kerry Film Festival, a web design Ireland example.

The Challenge

The identity needed a clearer system that could carry the festival across every touchpoint.

Posters, programmes, digital screens and festival materials needed to feel connected while still giving different strands of programming room to stand apart. The work was less about changing the spirit of the festival and more about giving it a stronger, more consistent visual language.

The Solution

A cultural identity system brought print, motion and festival environments into one clearer language.

Brand strategy, visual identity, motion design, print architecture and environmental graphics were brought into one coherent system. The logo, brochure, programme hierarchy and festival assets were designed to support cultural credibility and day-to-day usability for audiences and organisers.

The Process

The process turned the programme into a clear, useful festival object.

We organised the printed programme around schedule clarity, strand recognition and reader flow, treating it as a keepsake without losing its job as a guide. Motion and environmental applications extended the same language, using cinema cues such as projector movement to connect digital and physical festival moments.
