Tobogan festival, Rijeka · 2020
Tobogan festival
Two poster designs for a summer festival of activities for children in Rijeka, both built around a water slide.
The brief
Tobogan (“slide”) is a summer festival of active holidays for children in Rijeka, held from 26 June to 10 July 2020. The poster had to be playful enough for kids and readable enough for parents looking for the dates.
The approach
Both designs make the festival name into a slide. In the first, the word “tobogan” is written in one continuous line as a glossy red tube that loops down a sandy beach and ends with a splash in the sea, surrounded by small tent icons for the festival’s activity stations. In the second, a pink octopus tentacle curls into a slide over a stylised sea, with the title set in a chunky rounded display face.
The outcome
Two finished alternatives were delivered as print-ready posters, one typographic and one illustrated, sharing the same seaside colour palette and event information.
