SF posters

Author: matthew /

Here are a few of my work that I've recently submitted for my typography assessment to date. I've taken switchfoot albums as my main theme & these posters act as mock promotional posters for their album releases. So don't sue me for false information in the posters...Enjoy(I'm not sure why all my pics are downsized once uploaded here so I'm sorry but you might not be able to view the fullness of it in detail)


This piece is actually a revamp of the original "Oh! Gravity" artwork of illustrated impressions of the band members. I've colored them in with pretty colors & of course added in typography in their hairs or else my lecturer might get a heart attack haha...Their names & some of my favorite track titles. The word "switchfoot" is actually in scribbled form..

Sf's collaboration with Relient K (a famous contemporary band in the christian music scene) & its called "The Appetite For Construction Tour" this is actually a fund raising charity tour but I've made it up to be an album. Anyway its just so nice how its title is the exact opposite of Guns' & Roses' album "The Appetite For Destruction". cool? :)
The initial color I tested with. Apparently gives a wrong bright candy sour feel. So I changed it for the former.


Adapted from the album "New Way To Be Human". Tried to capture the similar feel & use of method as of the original album artwork (bottom right corner or the poster, a fingerprint) Using flat dull colors thus leaving plenty of space for the word play. Those words are the tracks titles in the album. The typeface (font) is just like the HP commercial right? I think its the same one.

For this very piece I've borrowed the tree from Jon Foreman's EP albums & of course added in my own elements. You see the bird on the tip of the branch? Symbolic as a sign of hope on a withered tree. I actually attempted to give a wood grain effect to the background but it looks like a marker felt scribble without borders.
