    paper Azorean International Film Festival

    For the Azorean International Film Festival — an international cinema event held in Ponta Delgada, São Miguel — I was responsible for developing the festival’s full visual identity across print and digital platforms. The project included the creation of the brand system, social media direction, promotional campaign assets, and editorial materials such as posters and event graphics.

    The identity was designed to support a multidisciplinary programme of film screenings, workshops, masterclasses, and networking events that bring together local and international filmmakers in the Azores.
