(Live Music) Poster Design [Ex]_

[Live Music] Poster Design [Ex]_ Personal Project 2020 - I wanted to create a personal project that allowed me room to experiment with imagery and typography for a fictional live music venue. I started the project with rough drafts of layouts, and quick sketches for the Illustrations. The designs were created using a combination of Affinity Designer, and Photoshop for the Illustrative elements. The Illustrations were loosely Inspired by Rorschach tests, but with a large injection of science fiction. This concept fit really well with the music theme, as people's interpretations of music can be vastly different from the next person, as can Rorschach test results. This abstract concept lends itself to allow the viewer of the designs to make their own assumptions about the Illustrative elements. The complexity of the Illustrations needed to be offset with the graphic design, as to create contrast in the design. As such, I kept the layout and choice of type minimal, and clean.
