‘International’ in Jarasum International Jazz Festival (JIJF) is not just inviting foreign artists from other countries. It is more than enough to call the festival ‘international’ since during the 10 times festivals, 41 countries 535 artists visited the festival. However, this is not the end of the ‘international’ part. The festival steps outside of Korea, international cooperation are being actively operated.

Jarasum International Jazz Festival
JIJF is held every October on the beautiful Jarasum Island in Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do. During the festival world-famous jazz artists come together to delight audiences with the smooth vibes of live jazz.
Festival Visual Identity Concept
JIJF is jazz festival which for promote jazz to the public. But, many people thought that jazz is difficult genre. Furthermore, JIJF's existing design tone is so outdated that can't appeal Jazz genre to young peoples. So, We make the most of the illustration and pattern in oder to public come across the jazz more easily.
JIJF held every year on the jarasum which is comprised of world famous jazz artists. Brand concept is Ranning jazz that various artist and melody of jazz descend to jarasum. We visualize impromptu and dynamic rythmn of Jazz to the pattern, and define the brand color to dark hue but warm color palette considering musical characteristic of the Jazz and night-opening time.
