Through collaboration with the client, we identified that the overarching message of Levantine Films, and the most crucial part of their work, is the amplification of the character's voices and stories within the films they produce. Putting the character's voices first and providing a platform for their stories.

The base for this design was to continue the character-first thread we uncovered, using contrast in scale and position to emphasize key points in the character's stories and create moments of empathy for the audience and user.

Tenwest is a 10-day event for business and arts in Southern Arizona with a theme around self-discovery and professional growth. The aim of the project was to create a playful and explorative experience around the user-focused content.

Using the visual identity's design system, I created a series of scroll-triggered animations and layouts, inspired by the playfulness of children's wooden building block toys. Lending the idea that participating is a joyful experience which will also encourage exploration and discovery.

Working with the head of the university's School of Theatre, Film, and Television, and each department lead, we uncovered the connective tissue between each discipline to be the presence of light over each craft. Or more specifically, the idea that light illuminates each artists work, whether an actor, costume designer, set designer, script writer, director, producer, and so on. It is the light that brings their work to life. This project was paused due to budget restraints. The concept shown here was our first visualization of how we can use 'lighting' and digital interaction to create a sense of spotlight and excitement for the user; prospective students.
