Canberra Comedy Festival

Graphic Designer for Canberra Comedy Festival

Description:

I have been the Graphic Designer for Canberra Comedy Festival since 2014. Since then, I have played a major role in developing and managing the visual branding for the festival, and continue to do so.

During my time with Canberra Comedy Festival, I have designed literally hundreds of individual marketing materials to support the festival. Examples include logos, posters, programs, animated ads, social media graphics, online ads, print ads, physical signage, screen displays, and merchandise.

Highlights:

Festival Logo: Illustrated the iconic Canberra Comedy Festival logo.
Sub-Brand Logos: Designed logos for Festival Club, Clean Comedy Spectacular and Canberra Comedy Festival Debate sub-brands.
Annual Designs: Designed the annual visual “look” for the festival, since 2015.
Festival Program: Designed the annual festival program booklet, since 2015.

“Ayla has produced amazing work for the Canberra Comedy Festival since its inception… This includes the iconic festival logo and program covers. I continually get comments from members of the public, performers, venue owners and media about how we ‘nailed the design’. That credit goes to Ayla.”
– Patrick Hornby, Canberra Comedy Festival
