Hexham Book Festival is a dynamic annual event that takes place in and around Hexham, Northumberland in Spring each year. It has grown significantly since the first Festival in 2006, becoming an important and valued part of the regional arts calendar.
We were commissioned to create a new visual identity to be implemented across the programme and various marketing materials, including pop-up stands, posters and social media assets for the festival. We looked at the history of book making and took inspiration from letterpress printing, using texture, scale and different typefaces to create energetic and impactful designs that formed the foundations of the festival's new look.
