The Paradise Bar

Creating A Voice Through Design: Visual Identity for The Paradise Bar

Illustration, Animation, Client Liaison, Layouts, Programme

During the Covid-19 pandemic, a group of creatives collaborated to produce The Paradise Bar, a cultural and diverse multi-art-form gig-theatre piece reflecting the lives of Black audiences and offering insight to less diverse communities. Led by a Black team, the piece explored the theme of ‘Black and...’.

I joined the project as the designer, creating the visual identity and artwork for The Paradise Bar. My aim was to develop a visual identity that not only expanded on the narrative but also could be implemented across various media. Working closely online with the entire Paradise Bar team due to COVID restrictions allowed me to deeply integrate their personalities and perspectives into the design.
