Fête du Village — Summer Festival Poster Pitch

A festival poster concept developed for the opening Fête du Village in Lège-Cap-Ferret. The illustration celebrates long-table conviviality, live music and late-summer nights — a communal scene under a starry sky rendered in a bold, limited palette and clear, graphic shapes. The composition is aimed at maximum legibility and impact for large-format street display while retaining a warm, human feel that reads at distance and up close. This piece was created for a competitive pitch to the festival organisers; the design was not ultimately selected for production, but it’s a strong example of my approach to cultural and event campaigns — concept-forward, print-ready, and built to attract an audience in public spaces. Vector artwork, prepared in Adobe Illustrator; ready for large-format output. I’m available for editorial, cultural and brand commissions —

This poster was created as a pitch for Lège-Cap-Ferret’s opening Fête du Village, a lively summer festival on the Atlantic coast. The brief asked for a street poster that would read from a distance, feel like a friendly neighbourhood invite, and celebrate music, food, and community.

I centered the composition on a communal table: people sharing food and wine, musicians in the background, under a night sky that’s both intimate and festive. The design uses a limited, high-contrast palette (deep navy, warm oranges, whites and blues) and mixes flat areas with subtle halftone texture to keep it lively in print. Hand-lettered type adds a familiar, local touch, while simplified figures make the scene inclusive and timeless.

Status: Submitted as a festival pitch (not selected for printing). Included here to showcase concept thinking for cultural and public campaigns.
