The development of a compelling visual design system seeks to unify a system's differing components yet instill excitement through its innovative representation of meaning. This project focuses on the manipulation and arrangement (composition) of typography and image as it conveys messages through a poster series.

My approach to this project was to use image and typography to communicate the musical aura of iconic musicians. A variety of graphical elements were explored to convey the uniqueness of each musician and their work. Texture was created using manipulated typography to embody the sound and feel of each icon. The overall goal was to show how the hardships of the artists and how those challenges defined their music.

This project received high praise from peers and faculty.
