I have loved this band for a very long time. They aren’t widely known but I feel like they should be because of their cool sound that gets me so pumped when I design.

I pictured a clean font for this poster before I thought of anything else. Since they are very modern but also very smooth I felt like they needed a deep moody color palette to work with. I love green, (I painted my master bedroom accent wall this color green) so I looked for an image that I could spice up and do the kaleidoscope effect to. I love pairing really complex artwork with really simple type, I think it adds an awesome balance to everything for a final product. If you get some time and you like unique music, you should check out my recommended songs below.

We are getting down to the last few poster designs for this year. I think I have decided to do book covers next year to get some practice in for my own book series that I have been writing since 2008! Ya i know it’s taking foreverrrrrrr but it has been so fun and come so far.

I chose to do Bastille because well, who doesn’t love their music? I feel like the name is classic which reminds me of my study abroad in Italy so I chose to use a sculpted bust as my focus. Since they have such a fun sound I added the watercolor splashes and the flowy typography to help bring that in a little more. I loved designing this poster, it just brought back so many memories from my European travels and design school; it’s crazy to see how far I’ve come since then. The links to my favourite songs are below and a link to a dance poster I made years ago inspired by their song Of the Night.
