Work / Poster series
Music & Culture Posters
A run of artist posters at two print sizes, each built from its own typographic idea rather than a house template.

- Sixteen posters at 18x24 and 20x30
The set is deliberately not a system. One sheet is blown out to pure black and white with the grain left in, one runs a chrome display face across a split field, one interleaves the figure between stacked letterforms so the type sits both behind and in front.
Each poster carries its own information layer - tour dates set vertically down the edge, a discography line across the foot, a block of body copy justified under the title. The type does the work a caption would otherwise have to do.
Printed at 18x24 and 20x30, with the scale set from the largest viewing distance down: the name reads across a room, the small copy only pays off up close.
Self-initiated. These are personal poster studies of artists I listen to. They were not commissioned, and they are not affiliated with or endorsed by the artists.
“Format and intent hold them together, not a shared grid.”
