Client: First Citizens National Poetry Slam, an integral event of the annual Bocas Lit Fest, is the premier spoken word competition in Trinidad and Tobago.
Objective: Develop a cohesive visual identity that captures the 2024 theme, "Enter the Dragon's Mouth." The design celebrates the power of words, centred around the creative lore of local geography (Bocas del Dragón).
Background:
2024 marked the 12th edition of the First Citizens National Poetry Slam, which has established itself as the largest stage for Spoken Word in the Caribbean, with a TT$50,000 first-place prize, the biggest cash prize for Spoken Word artists worldwide.
My role was to conceptualise the theme and create bold, culturally relevant, and emotionally compelling visuals, reinforcing the slam's reputation as a space for impactful storytelling.
Phase 3: Grand Slam
