Not just an another pretty visual identity and branding project

Not just an another pretty visual identity and branding project

The AIR visual identity is more than a symbol that's copied and pasted. It's a meaningful brand language that carries across digital and physical spaces, amplifying community voices and solidarity work. The symposium microsite extended this identity online, offering an accessible, intuitive hub for the event's programming and dialogue that kept the conversation alive beyond the event.

[ Context Overview ]

To kickstart my designer career, I had an wonderful opportunity to lead and create the branding system and help shaped AIR’s visual identity, building a foundation that carried across digital and community-facing platforms, dialogues and events. There was an importance to create a flexible identity that honoured AIR’s values of solidarity building and supported the continuous work of decolonization and restitution of these colonial places, both offline and online.
