Nova Scotia Music Week - Music Nova Scotia’s flag ship event - is an annual festival, conference, and Award celebration spanning four days in Nova Scotia, Canda. From May 2020 - May 2024 I worked as MNS’s Brand Lead and sole designer responsible for their every design need including the conceptualization and ideation of the branding suite each year for each of their three distinct program tracks: Festival, Conference, and Award.
I single-handedly designed every ounce of festival design from the entire Award Show proceedings down to drink tickets. Other assets include Festival Lanyards, Badges, Wristbands, Stickers & Merchandise, Festival Posters, Popup Banners, External Ads, Showcasing Artist Graphics, On-site daily TV schedules and wayfinding, Transport Shuttle decals & Venue Door Vinyl, and so much more. Last year, I even handmade 80+ NSMW branded Fanny-packs with Heat Press Vinyl to be given as gifts to our visiting delegates. Phhhhhhhewf.
deliverables:
Every piece of digital and print design required for all three event tracks: Festival, Conference, and Awards including but not limited to:
Festival Identity and every spec of in-house design
Website design, build & maintenance
All onsite printed media, external print ads, and various signage and support requests from host city
All digital media assets, ads, and social graphics to support festival press releases, news, and CTA’s
All Award-related assets from the entire Award Show proceedings to nominee graphics and step and repeat banners, down to table toppers, show schedules and bar menus.
+ so much more. You name it… I did it.
