Through exhibitions, workshops, and talks, the festival serves as a launchpad for aspiring designers, creating accessible opportunities and fostering stronger connections.
This year’s theme, Identity Crisis, reflects the festival’s debut—an experiment in self-discovery. The bold, rebellious visual identity mixes structured design with hand-drawn elements, capturing individuality and the festival’s unique spirit.
Supported by the UK’s Design Council, G.F Smith, Foilco, and other key partners, NDF2024 aims to shift the focus of creative opportunities away from London, bringing them to the North and making them more accessible.
