This concept design for BAM’s New Wave event captures the dynamic energy of theater through die-cut typography and stage-inspired lighting patterns. Drawing from the movement of drapes and the interplay of light and shadow, the design creates a layered, immersive experience. Each chapter features distinct patterns blended with imagery, forming a cohesive visual narrative that reflects the event’s diverse themes while maintaining a unified identity.
