GENRE
Neo-Soul
In this poster, I aim to evoke the ethereal atmosphere created by the rawness in Nai Palm’s voice and the subtle layering of sounds. Through dynamic typography, I visualize the song's abstract emotions and unique sonic landscape.

GENRE
Pop/Folk
My poster explores the lyrical depth found within the song. Typography reflects the flow of a river, the passing of time, and essence of the night sky that is found in this song’s emotional narrative.
SONGSound & Color
ARTISTAlabama Shakes
GENRE
Alternative/Indie
An enchanting composition known for the dynamic vocal presence of Brittany Howard – my typographic poster for this song is inspired by the sharpness in the vocals, the lifts and pauses in the sonic quality of the performance, and the imagery of a new world.
