PURSUIT OF PASSION
THE PURSUIT
We were asked to choose a song and create an experimental typographical poster. Develop a rationale for interpreting a piece of music through typography, imagery and layout without any photo editing.
THE ACQUISITION
I chose latin song “Bailame” sung by Gypsy Kings. This is a spanish song that reminds me of the time when I was in Spain and the passionate spanish people. When I listen to this song, I think about going to see a flamenco dance performance. I wanted to express the idea of this lively atmosphere as well as the passion and confidence of flamenco dancers. The design approach is to bring in various materials and use projector to create more dimensional design solutions.
THE OUTCOME
To experiment typography and images, I found images and designed various typographic compositions printed on acetate sheets as the components to explore through projector. I manually twisted and turned materials and photographed them in different angles to create unique compositions. I think the contrasting color combinations, black and red, strongly evoke the sense of the passion as well as the dance that is flamenco.
