With the voice of the singer, lyrics, and rhythm, a song can make people feel inspired and emotional. For example, the song "City of Sadness" is about Taiwan's history when people rose against the government to fight for freedom 70 years ago. The feeling is struggling, exploding, and tough.
I used the calligraphy typography layering with wrinkled plastic materials to create chaos mood. The texture on the wall represents the strongness and firmness. The water conveys that people adopt an attitude of adaptability to conquer different situations. I then combined all this with the type placements and composition with images to form this music poster.
