notting hill carnival



When freelancing for the digital agency Second Screen, I was part of the team that created the official Notting Hill Carnival mobile application. In tandem with this, I redesigned the official carnival website in collaboration with the team behind the event, Carnival Village Trust. The aim was to capture the true spirit of carnival, which led to a colourful, chaotic homepage exploding with images. When digging deeper into the site, you could discover the story of carnival, it’s histories, ambassadors and more.
In addition to this, I designed custom mobile stickers for the application, as well as social media assets used to promote the carnival app.
