INK Fest Chicago 2019


Illustration 'n Krafts (INK) Fest Chicago is a student-organized convention that called on artists, illustrators, and makers of all kinds to table and exhibit their work. Participation in this event was encouraged especially for students and local makers wanting an introduction to the convention scene. The event drew crowds of almost a thousand visitors in Chicago over the two days it was held in the Student Center of Columbia College Chicago. 


As Creative Lead, I was tasked with creating a baseline identity for the convention to be reinterpreted for future Creative Leads and organizers of INK Fest Chicago. Along with this, I created graphics to advertise the event for both print and web, designed totebags and buttons to be sold to fundraise for the event, and managed a small team of graphic designers to assist in this effort.
