After receiving the initial brief with event info, I pulled together some loose themes that could be applied to the creative.  My solution would also have to be respective of the brand cultures of the design-forward host venue Eaton Hotel, and event sponsor Jameson Irish Whiskey.

A look into RCSC's campaign archives showed a lean toward image based flyer design.  To introduce Saturdaze, I opted for digital illustration backed by a bright palette to cut through the noise and generate a new energy for the agency's first digital festival.

The pop-art theme paying a cheeky ode to Washington, DC living was received well by event stakeholders and performers alike.

Here's a quick look at illustrated character development for Saturdaze visuals.  

Making a play on DC's nickname, I designed a character to anchor the event's artwork.  

After initial sketch, reshaping body proportion and minimizing facial expression brought polish to the idea.

We collaborated with Aaron, influencer and owner of a popular subway photography themed instagram account, to shoot the main visuals for the project.

After combing through 2,000+ selects, we found the statement shot for the store.  

The large-scale graphic now greets each customer as they close the checkout process.
