Solar Power
Riso-Printed Band Poster
Overview
For this project, I created an 11"x17" band poster for the artist Lorde. The perimeters around this project were that we could pick any band, or artist that we wanted, but we had to base the concept of the poster on a word from within the band or an album that they have produced. I decided to focus on Lorde's album "Solar Power", particularly the word Solar.
Process
To create this poster, I utilized brainstorming techniques like mind mapping and mood boarding. My focus was on the word "solar" and how I could visually represent it in my design. After brainstorming, I sketched out rough drafts. My goal was to create a design that felt radiant and almost ethereal. For the background, I edited a film picture I had taken of a beach scene to give the design a grainy texture. I added a large sun on the horizon of the waves to draw the viewer's attention and convey a sense of energy. A few sparkle elements were added to highlight the light of the sun and the atmospheric energy of the poster. I chose pink and yellow for printing to create a warm tone that highlights Solar Power. The final design was printed on a riso-printer and conveys a "solar" feeling.
