Nowrouz Show Design

Nowruz is the Iranian or Persian New Year that is celebrated by various ethnicities worldwide such as in Afghanistan which this is based off. It usually takes place on March 21.

Debbie was asked to handle the project and create the visuals, illustration and thus, design and brand for the show. As this was catered to those in Afghanistan, the use of the poppy flower and pigeon’s were prevalent as these are known displays of the country.
Debbie took responsibility in providing all art works and elements to put together for the title sequence, name straps and video walls, amongst other things to try and convey a sense of happiness and enjoyment. This was done through showing people dancing, playing instruments and being together to show the impact and possibility of having equal rights as a pose to the rule the Taliban have in their country.

All the illustrations were hand drawn and software such as illustrator, Photoshop and Aftereffects were used to create the graphics.
