Through Shifting Seasons

Event Poster, Instagram Carousel, and Animation

/ Poster Design + System Design + Motion Graphics

/ Spring 2024, Parsons School of Design

For this project, I imagined the branding for an experimental, multimedia performance reinterpreting Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons.” I set out to visualize the abstraction and modernization of a classical piece of music while evoking the movement of seasons, music, and bodies.

Typefaces used: Visual (All Caps) + PF Pixelscript (Parachute) + Monotype Grotesque (Monotype)

Process Details

This design coheres across print and digital formats of dramatically different scale:

  • an A0-sized print poster for out of home marketing,
  • a four-screen Instagram carousel,
  • and a banner animation meant for ad space in an online article.

My main challenge was arranging a fixed amount of copy between these three applications. Some pieces of information required repetition and emphasis, whereas other pieces could recede. I focused on readability while typesetting longer sections of copy but, for headings, leveraged letterforms as imagery, shape, and texture in and of themselves.
