Role: Executive/ Creative Director
ASIFA-SOUTH is a 501c3 non profit focused on betterment of the creative industry with special focus on animation. We run year-round events and workshop and an annual animation conference/ festival. I work on managing all departments from operations, marketing, business to programming and delegate workflow to ensure organizational activities are able to function year round. I also work as a creative director alongside the marketing team to train and help them with learning the brand guide that I created to ensure unity across brand look and feel.
2020 YEAR ROUND BRANDING
For 2020 we amp up our branding to be more colorful and bolder. Utilizing Canva Pro, we blend premade elements with our own designs and graphics to create a quick turnaround graphics template for our instagram, slideshow template, facebook banners, with additional mini animated elements for some media as seen fit. Instead of starting from scrap, we aim to utilize what is at our disposal to create a unified look and feel that exudes "vibrant energy" while maintaining a professional look.
