APA Brand Poster 2023

Project Overview
Led the visual direction for APA’s 2023 brand campaign, introducing a bold typographic-led approach that repositioned the Academy’s annual brand expression.The objective was to shift away from performer-dominant layouts and reinforce stronger brand recognition through structural visual hierarchy.
​
Creative Direction
Re-centering the Brand Identity
Elevated the Chinese calligraphy “演藝” from the APA logo as the primary visual anchor, enlarging it to dominate the composition and ensure instant brand recognition.Layered the English tagline directly across the calligraphy, creating a dynamic bilingual interaction that reflects Hong Kong’s cultural duality.
​
Visual Architecture

• Integrated performance imagery from all six Schools within the typographic structure

• Replaced traditional large-scale performer photography with a more controlled, concept-driven composition

• Established a clearer hierarchy between identity, message, and imagery
  ​
