Folk Festival
The Ark is a local Ann Arbor nonprofit base for folk and roots music with extensive and quality programming. During the six months leading up to the Ark’s annual Folk Festival fundraiser, Q Ltd is tasked with rediscovering the look and feel as it relates to the local community and folk music. I was honored to create the 2024 brand and work with The Ark to help continue this partnership.
Project managed by Christine Golus. Project mentored by Andy Sikora.
Running over the Huron river next to the Argo dam, the Ann Arbor Railroad bridge was built around 1880 to connect Toledo, Ohio to northern Michigan. The bridge is a focal point of the surrounding area known as Argo Park.
This railway may not operate or serve as a crucial part of the city’s life today, but was once pivotal to establishing the University of Michigan and Ann Arbor’s economy.
Behind the Design
The team decided building on the brand decisions from 2023 would not only help streamline our process, but help create a familiarity from year to year.
