• Imagery: Circular cutouts of vibrant images, including a disco ball, a DJ set, and immersive art installations, represent the diversity of the event.

• Update the circular images to reflect your event’s highlights, such as performers, artists, or featured attractions.
• Experiment with alternative font styles and weights to better align with your branding.
• Use a dynamic gradient or textured background to add depth and visual interest.
