The NOW festival aims to engage young people in a creative discussion around the topic of mental health, through whatever ‘NOW’ issue is chosen by the team and young people’s steering group.

Previous themes have included ‘Mental Health and Technology’, ‘Mental Health and the Rights of the Child’, ‘My Education, My Mental Health’ and ‘Rise Up: Adverse Childhood Experience’ . This year’s theme is ‘Mental Health & Belonging’.

The aims of the event are to:

  • Empower young people to challenge stigma about mental health
  • Educate young people about mental health
  • To give them a voice and an active lead role in devising their pieces
  • Knowledge and ownership on the NOW issue and how these can affect mental health
  • Build confidence and self-esteem by taking part in the process / performing on stage
  • Ultimately, have fun and enjoy the whole process of talking about mental health and the NOW theme whilst challenging stigma.

We have worked with the RAISE Team and their young person steering group each year since 2017 to develop their website and branding for each festival.

For 2020, we were asking to create a website and marketing materials for both digital and print including brochures and t shirts.

What the client said

“Adam has been amazing, we worked with him to create our NOW Festival logo and he listened to everything we said. We had a couple of new ideas throughout the creation process and nothing was too much trouble and he was super quick in getting new designs back to us. We’ve worked with Adam for the last few years on different projects and love working with him.”
