The design uses a blue-led colour scheme, providing a consistent visual identity throughout the programme while supporting readability for a predominantly mature audience. Clear typographic hierarchy and considered layout choices were essential to ensure schedules, event details and practical information were easy to navigate at a glance. The programme was produced bilingually, incorporating both English and Welsh translations, requiring careful planning to maintain clarity without overcrowding the page.

Illustration plays a key role throughout the publication. Custom illustrations were created to represent headline acts and contributors, alongside architectural features of Neath, including the central church, the rugby club lights, the castle, and the Duke. These elements help ground the festival within its local context while adding visual interest and cohesion across the pages.
