In 2023, the Kansas City Public Library and the Missouri Humanities Council were making plans for a new book festival to take place in the city; I developed an initial art direction for the event, which was imagined as a lively celebration of reading, books, and ideas for all ages and interests.
The plans and focus of the festival eventually changed, necessitating a different visual approach, but before then I created an identity system and sample marketing materials to show the concept in action.
