Due to the reemergence of 2000s era nostalgia, I wanted to pay homage to the most popular aesthetic in design at the time, Frutiger Metro. To play off this, I did research into how the decorative aesthetic was created and incorporated flat, but also maximalist designs with exclusive playful colors. As well as features like splats, vector blooms, musical motifs like the circle patterns that played off as speakers. Among the influence of the aesthetic, I wanted to center the festival among popular central 2000s acts that could take anyone back to the era like Imogen Heap, Natasha Bendingfield, Soulja Boy and more. Including modern day acts that incorporated the said aesthetic in their music.
