SUMMARY
Giving with glamour
Hosted by Lagom Lifestyle and Pretty Little Wigs, The Emerald Gala set out to create an unforgettable night for it’s guests whilst raising as much money for Clatterbridge Cancer Charity. I was given the honour and responsibility of creating all of the design work needed to make the night come together.
THE BRIEF
A night of elegance
I was tasked with creating visuals to match the party-like nature of the event whilst also maintaining the maturity and empathetic tone needed when hosting a charity event. The overarching goal was to raise as much money as possible but simultaneously create a genuinely fun and memorable night for all those in attendance and my designs had to support that.

NEXT TIME
Returning soon…
The client came back for a second year, this time with a Monte Carlo theme, casino, racing culture, high life. The emerald palette gets rebuilt rather than recoloured, and the same print-and-projection problem comes with it.
