This project was a poster design for a music festival, created under tight deadlines and multiple constraints. At first, these limitations were challenging, but I quickly realized that restrictions often push creativity in unexpected ways.
One of the biggest hurdles was the sheer volume of information—I had to design a poster that promoted two separate concerts within the same festival, each with different locations, times, titles, and dates. Using my knowledge of hierarchy and typography, I carefully structured the layout to ensure the poster remained legible and visually compelling, despite the information-heavy content.
Another major constraint was the black-and-white requirement, as the client wanted to minimize ink usage. To maintain visual interest without color, I used a dynamic diagonal composition and incorporated winding lines with a pencil-like texture. These lines served a dual purpose—symbolizing the flow of music while subtly referencing the four strings of many string instruments, with variations in weight mirroring different pitches. This project challenged me to problem-solve creatively, balancing aesthetics, functionality, and the core message of the event.
