Ten years ago, I started designing flyers for a music gathering in California. I had no idea I was signing up for a decade-long love letter.<\/p>

The Untz Festival describes itself as an intentional, co-created community gathering \u2014 integrating underground electronic dance music, visionary art, creative expression, and transformational counterculture. What that actually looks like, if you\u2019ve never been: thousands of the most talented, big-hearted weirdos you\u2019ll ever meet, building something together year after year that\u2019s equal parts art project, family reunion, and fever dream.<\/p>

As their lead designer, I\u2019ve delivered a majority of their graphic design and festival collateral since 2017 \u2014 every annual poster, the evolving brand identity, apparel and merch, print materials, marketing assets, motion graphics and animation, and video content used across the festival\u2019s promotion and on-site visuals. Flip through the poster archive above and you\u2019re looking at ten years of visual evolution \u2014 from the desert-sunset glow of 2017 to the neon cityscapes, cosmic eclipses, and glitched-out rave aesthetics of the years since \u2014 every one designed to capture a different chapter of who this community was becoming.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
