The Sounds Loud Festival is this Sunday, and looking at the event rsvps on facebook, it looks like it will be pretty massive!
I have been working on a lot of the design work for this event over the last few months. My favourite piece of work was creating the handout that will be available to punters on the day of the event. The handout will fold down to A5 size, and feature a map of the site grounds, as well as a running sheet of playing times for each of the stages.

Playing Times for this weekend's Sounds Loud Festival

These designs are also in this week’s issue of Beat Magazine, as 2 A3 sized adverts!

I’m still to hunt down a copy!

The designs were both created completely in Adobe Illustrator, with the exception of the tables for the playing times, they were made in MS Word, and then copied into Illustrator (I didn’t realise you could do that ’til now!)

The Sitemap design used a heap of illustrator’s filters and effects; So many that it was actually not possible for illustrator to export this image at high dpi or resolution (for A0). This is actually a really annoying limitation of the program, as I tried exporting it on many different high spec computers.

The actual Sounds Loud Logo, Speakers image, and the gradient used for the background were originally created by Kon Mrnjaus, another local designer who was responsible for the Sounds Loud Festival poster design. Thanks Kon for supplying me with these Vector originals to composite into my design!
