The festival is interactive, we want it to be inclusive of everyone and participation is encouraged in a range of events. After looking at videos from the Yee Peng Festival in Chiang Mai, I want to create events that cross over into the night time, into the darkness of the city and light it up. My event would start in the day, with people at the festival creating paper lanterns, creating a hub of activity on a roof top. From this it will create a mass of lanterns ready for the evening. Once the city has become dark, people will come back together and light their lanterns, creating a sea of light into the sky.

Tribeca Film Festival
On the idea of lights and decorating the city, the Tribeca film festival has made an interesting installation. They have taken a building that is always there and changed the design and colouring. The small light pieces completely change the focal point of the building and creates a buzz around it.
For our festival we want to create light paths and lighting off rooftops. Simple pieces but mass produced can create very interesting and beautiful pieces.

Sound Walks
"The Art of Noise"
- Luigi Russolo
2013 is the 10th year of SoundWalks, a festival that rethinks the approach to sound production and how we perceive the noises around us. Artists who utilize sound through their work are asked to summit their work for this yearly event.
We want to create sound walks through our festival, allowing different areas of design to be involved. The festival is for all ages, and we want it to interest all the senses as you travel around Manchester.
Vegas Spray - Paper Girl
This project has been set up to change the way in which the public view art, making it more assessable to everyone and creating more intrigue towards art galleries. This 'paper girl' went around Brisbane, Australia and distributed pieces of art work with invitations for an art gallery. This created a great buzz around the area, with the feeling of being personally invited to an event.
"We see Papergirl Brisbane as a great way to engage a wider audience to participate in an open arts project that's fun and about giving, rather than creating a divide between the general public and the often 'inside' arts sector." - Vegas Spray

Hear Manchester
This project takes a collection of audios that have been recorded along the canal through Manchester. It looks at the people from Manchester, facts that have been forgotten and places that are not appreciated.
For our festival we want to use unused and unappreciated spaces to regenerate the city through the work of designers. The canal especially is an area along Manchester that is forgotten, almost hidden under the city. We want to celebrate these areas and create spaces that people are drawn to.

Design Festivals
To create a design festival I have looked at other design festivals to get a feeling of what they look like and what they have as exhibitions. I have taken aspects of each as ideas for my own, creating a new style of design festival. Milan has strong installations of work, London has a strong branding structure and Stockholm has a very creative feel to it.
