Introduction

What is Kaleidoscope?

Kaleidoscope is an annual festival held in the suburb of Point Cook, at Stockland Point Cook Town Centre's Pop Up Park. Over the span of 10 weeks, events are held on weekends celebrating different cultures and cultural holidays.

Working alongside the CoLocal team, we collaborated with Stockland, Wyndham Council and community groups, to organise these events which promote intercultural bonds.

The Challenge

The challenge was to make the festival unique and refreshing each year, while staying true to its existing aesthetic, and to increase the reach and attendance of each Kaleidoscope event, compared to 2023.

Design Impact

The solution was to create a series of customised assets that adhered to the Pop Up Park brand identity, to support the festival and its events. This includes online and offline promotional materials that targeted Point Cook and the surrounding suburbs' demographic of youth and young families. I was also responsible for designing posters, signages and other materials used for some event activities.

Reflection

During my time interning with CoLocal for Kaleidoscope 2024, I put my existing design skills into practice and it was exciting to see how design is used in real projects, impacting real people. I learnt independently and was also guided by professionals, expanding my skillset.

It was an amazing opportunity to express my creativity while incorporating feedback and working with a cross-functional team. Here, I saw first-hand how design principles are important and that design should communicate ideas effectively for the everyday person.

I was lucky to also collaborate on Kaleidoscope 2025, using my design skills which have improved since Kaleidoscope 2024. I approached challenges more boldly and creatively than the previous year, to create exciting and unique assets that supported and marketed the festival.
