Afrofuturism: A Gala Dinner

Charity Fundraising Event
Brief: To create a bespoke visual identity and suite of collateral for a fundraising gala dinner. The event was hosted by the RIBA in aid of the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust which works to support young people from disadvantaged and under-represented backgrounds enter into, and suceed within, the architecture profession.

Approach:
To create a distinct and dynamic identity that embodied an Afro-futuristic look and feel; taking both African traditional motifs and fusing them together with a collection of futuristic architectural and sci-fi, graphical references.
