M3F Music Festival
Context
M3F stands out as one of the only 100% non-profit music festivals. The festival is dedicated to fostering arts, community, culture, education, and the environment.
Objective
Each year, the M3F identity evolves while staying true to its core mission and values. I developed a brand identity inspired by the Arizona landscape, which influenced both digital and in-person design elements to enhance the festival experience for attendees.
