Arena: Elevate

PROJECT TYPE

TOOLS

Adobe Xd, Psd, Ai

The Arena is a creative community and platform in the UK. They empower young creatives by providing industry insight, learning opportunities, and spaces for meaningful networking.

Arena – Elevate was a project focused on creating a unified identity and digital experience for a two-day career event for emerging designers.
 

My design addressed both digital and physical touchpoints by designing a responsive website, day-specific schedules, and branded merchandise. The approach emphasised clarity, engagement, and accessibility, using a visual language that inspires creativity while ensuring smooth navigation and brand consistency across all deliverables.

Developed in collaboration with The Arena as part of my Master's coursework, the project responded to a live brief, allowing me to work with a real creative community.
 
This project involved designing a n event identity and relevant deliverables for Elevate, an event hosted by The Arena.
