Aimee Mann Poster

Created a poster for a performance using typographic elements. I based my poster on one of my favorite songs by Aimee Mann, titled “Invisible Ink”.

Concept

I started with the idea of ink and found some beautiful images and video of ink dropped in water. The ink’s descent and transformation was slow and graceful, qualities that suited the song.

As the ink mushroomed, the drops began to resemble jellyfish. I liked the idea of ink coming to life and breaking away.

Final Poster

I had to remember that the poster was supposed to promote a performance, not just a song. So I created an art nouveau style graphic that framed the performance information. It resembled a simplified graphic jelly fish – but it stood out because its symmetry contrasted with the rest of the organic images.
