Movement is on the, well, you know, move this year now that it has picked a local brand designer.

Excerpt:

Derek Kuschel was named the brand designer for the Movement festival in a competition organizers held. The 27-year-old Ferndale resident beat out 134 other graphic designers and artists this year to win the opportunity to design the theme for this year's festival.

That means he's responsible for the overall visual aesthetic of the event, including festival advertising, t-shirts, banners and the web site. Kuschel also gets $5,000, VIP passes for friends/family, and festival gear.
