Visual Playground is a festival dedicated to visual arts, focusing particularly on illustration and graphic design, but also on related topics such as lettering and animation. The activities that the festival proposes are as varied are the topics addressed in the festival: a two-day conference, workshops, exhibitions, mural paintings.
As such, the organizing team wanted the identity of the festival to contain as many layers as the festival itself, while also aiming to pay special attention to craft. 18 visuals were created, one for every communication need, which were later laser-cut from wood boards of two different thicknesses. The pieces were spray painted, assembled and glued, then photographed during a two-day photo session.
The result matches the effort, with the festival visuals having a strong impact on the community, raising a lot questions about their realization.

Visual Playground is a place of joyful artistic experimentation - throughout its 10 workshops, the speakers covered a vast series of subjects – illustration, lettering, design, animation, storytelling, print and many more. As such, the team knew the visuals had to be bold and colorful, in order to express the school’s playful spirit. Also, because it approached such a broad palette of themes for the workshops and conference talks, the team wanted the visual to not be based just on classic illustration or graphic design or lettering, but rather have a mix. So they ended up with a series of photos that looked like 3D illustrations with some nice graphic design on top.
Everything started with a series of object hunting sessions in different flea markets and art supply shops in Bucharest. Next the team spray painted the objects and photographed them in different compositions. The result was a series of images, that were then used as a base for a coherent line of promotional materials.
