Heat Lightning Broadside
Poster Design
This Heat Lightning Poster was an exercise for integrating type and imagery, as well as interpreting music and song lyrics in a visually appealing way. The song is "Heat Lightning" by Mitski.
Task
Elevate the meaning of a song or poem of the designer's choosing by interpreting the lyrics in a visually appealing 13 by 19 inch poster design. Then, create a design for an Instagram.

Solution
I decided to create my poster off of the song "Heat Lightning" by Mitski. I integrated type and imagery and played with different effects such as liquify and chromatic aberration.
Result
The song "Heat Lightning" is a beautiful and psychedelic song that deals with themes of the unknown and insomnia. I chose a deep purple color palette to represent the night and used different effects to represent the music. I am very pleased with how it turned out!
