LAAFF it up: tips for a freaky fringe festival’s t-shirt design tips:
The Lexington Arts and Fun Festival (LAAFF) is an annual indie street festival in Asheville, NC. LAAFF is looking for a new t-shirt design to sell to attendees and spread the word. LAAFF is a nonprofit community endeavor, so the winning design helps fund more community-focused fun.
LAAFF is a freaky, fringe-y, family-friendly celebration of Asheville’s artistic and musical communities. It fills three city blocks with local art, food, beer, music, street performers and random acts of creativity. Multiple stages showcase rock and roll, indie pop, funk, folk, ragtime, reggae, worldbeat, bluegrass, old time and African drumming. Also on hand are clowns, magicians, contortionists, belly dancers, modern dancers, vaudeville actors, hula-hoopers,bicycle-jousters and more.
To help you better understand the festival, Creative Allies spoke with two of its organizers, Erin and Kitty, asking them questions about the design they’re looking for.
Please tell our designers three VERY SPECIFIC things designers should think about when creating your design:
* We want to convey the idea of quality, inspired creativity
* A life filled with art and fun, love and diversity; freedom of expression
* Deeply unique images that express an alternative-culture approach
“My ideal design is” (give us two or three short phrases that describe what you really want):
* explosive creative expression, surprise, fringe, music and art
* heartfelt connection to life, the joy and power of creativity
* collaborative spirit, community
I suggest designers to stay away from (specific things that really turn me off)
* literal art or music images, (paintbrushes, pallettes, music notes)
* clip art; a prepackaged look
