Stamped & Stranded

Stamped & Stranded is a conceptual travel festival brand and publication celebrating exploration, culture, and typography. Designed for a two-day event held at Darling Harbour, Sydney, the project combines a passport-inspired visual language with layered travel stamps, tickets, and typography to capture the excitement of global adventure. The system includes a poster, multi-page guidebook, and interactive website, each unified through grid-based layouts, typographic hierarchy, and a minimal colour palette inspired by vintage travel documents. The result is a cohesive identity that merges editorial design and storytelling, encouraging visitors to rediscover the world through design, dialogue, and discovery. Created in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop, the festival branding highlights clarity, narrative, and experiential design thinking.
