Towards the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic and lockdown in early 2020, I set a temporary challenge for myself: to make a single 11”x17” poster every day.
Many of these took inspiration from idioms and wordplay, as those aspects of our language have always fascinated me, and could lead to interesting imagery when taken at face value. Others came from other inspirations in my life, such as typefaces and media that I was enjoying at the time. Below are a select few of my favorites.
Due to the success of the Riot Fest bucket hat, I was requested to develop a matching button-up and shorts highlighting a mix of fan-submitted and existing taglines while keeping the same cartoony feel.
Lines like “What Soap Washes Its Mouth Out With” and “Kick Your Mouth In The Balls” illustrate the love-hate cult following behind the brand, and a primary color palette pulled from the golden-yellow liqueur and Chicago flag ties back to the local heritage as well as playing on the 4-color process in which comics using such speech bubbles are printed.
