Making Waves: Series B
TYPOGRAPHY II
With this series, I wanted to play with color, positioning, and scale to create a sense of depth of field with layers of type and visual elements which seem to move across and around each other, akin to melodies and harmonies in music. Originating with a Jimi Hendrix poster from my rule-based type explorations, each poster aims to create a visual translation of the musician's sound and the lasting impacts they left.
Sketching outlines for Shankar and Madonna
Creating the "waves"
Madonna's waves are bold reverberating lines, akin to the forceful power of her career as a performer, producer, choreographer, and more.
Hendrix's waves have a fuzzy vibrating distortion like the sounds he incorporated into his music in a way that hadn’t been seen before.
