01
Where the idea began
Dusk & Craft is a music festival concept inspired by Woodstock and its ideas of freedom, peace, music, and self-expression.
Instead of recreating Woodstock’s traditional vintage aesthetic, I explored a neo-bohemian direction by combining nostalgic 90s influences with contemporary graphic design.

02
The Concept
From Hippie to Neo-Bohemian
The visual direction combines classic bohemian and hippie influences with contemporary graphic design.
I focused on elements connected to nature, creativity, freedom, and a relaxed lifestyle, while avoiding a purely vintage aesthetic.
The goal was to create something that feels nostalgic without looking outdated.

REFLECTION
What I learned.
This project helped me understand how to turn a cultural reference into a new visual identity without simply copying its original style.
I learned how to balance nostalgic influences with contemporary design, while keeping the visual identity consistent across different applications.
Through Dusk & Craft, I also became more confident in developing a concept from the initial idea and moodboard into a complete festival identity.
