Glimt, venue design

In August 2017 I had a conversation with a friend about why Århus didn’t have a light festival. We decided to do some research and got in contact with light artists and people from the culture and festival industry to share our ideas - and we decided to give it a try. So for my graduate project on VIA Design I combined the festival concept development, which we were already were doing, with an assignment about visual concept development of a light festival. This project included research about other festivals, trend research, visual style research, user journey mapping, experience design, and identity design and production consisting of name, logo, posters and SoMe style.

We ended up getting the chance to test our concept at SPOT Festival 2018, where we learned a lot about execution, project management, being a curator, venue design and also that the "light part" of the concept wasn't the best part for us. So after this, we went from "Glimt Light Festival" to "Glimt" where we instead have been booked to design venues for festivals and add glitter and soap bubbles to concerts.

This is example is from Spark Electronic Music Festival 2019 where we changed 3 venue locations and gave them the Spark spirit of glitter, shine and bubbles.
