Gila Music Poster

This poster is announcing the release of Gila's song Energy Demonstration on 4/1/2021. The poster is meant to give the viewer the feeling of the music and to excite them for the release of the song.
Learning Outcomes:
I learned that you really need to study whatever it is you are creating a piece for. With this project, I listened to this song for hours and hours on repeat as I created different backgrounds and type explorations that I felt reflected the feeling of the music. I also learned about printing such a large size and doing test prints to ensure your colors are correct when you print.
The background of the poster which I created using photoshop. This is meant to reflect the different colors of energy.
Different variations of the poster
I really wanted to use repetition and overlap in this poster because there is a lot of repetition and overlap and the song. However, this felt like too much so I took the idea of flipping some text and repetition and used part of it in the final.
Here I took my idea from the last poster but I decided to blur out most of the text and keep some still visible. However, this version was missing the hierarchy of the artist's name and the name of the song.
I really liked the rhythm the text created in this version.
Lastly, I added in some transparent blue text to create some more depth and play more into my idea of repetition. This poster took the pattern of text I liked and the repetition of my previous designs but it just needed to be a little less text-heavy and so I went in and blurred the text to create the final piece.
