THE BRIEF

The Social Credentials, a Toronto band, commissioned a set of three custom illustrated posters to promote their live shows across the GTA. Each poster had to announce a specific performance, with venue, date and time, and hold up both as a printed poster and as digital social media graphics. The band’s artistic energy and style needed to come through in every piece.

THE APPROACH

Each poster began as a hand sketch, which let me work out the composition and character before committing to colour. I drew on pop art for the bold, graphic approach: strong outlines, flat blocks of saturated colour and a modern, high-energy feel. The lineup of three uses a different palette for each show, a turquoise, a crimson and an electric blue, so the set reads as a series while each poster stands alone. The illustrations are paired with a bold, all-caps headline and clear event details, so the information stays legible on a street-side print and on a phone screen. I prepared each design in both print and digital formats, then adapted the social media versions for each platform.

THE RESULT

The posters give The Social Credentials a recognizable visual series that promotes their shows across the GTA. The illustrations convey the band’s bold personality, and each piece works across print and social media, so the designs can reach fans on the street and online.
