Poster & Vinyl Design

Context

Suzanne Ciani is a pioneering American composer and electronic musician, known for her work with synthesizers. Her 2020 ambient album The Sonic Womb creates a calming, womb-like experience with rich synthesizer tones, blending experimental and soothing elements to promote relaxation and introspection.

Challenge

This project focuses on designing a unique music poster and vinyl for Suzanne Ciani’s A Sonic Womb. Known for her innovative use of diverse sounds, the goal is to create visuals that reflect the distinctiveness and creativity of her music.

Approach

My inspiration comes from the repetitive yet captivating sounds Suzanne Ciani creates in her music, along with the distinctiveness of her soundscapes. The title A Sonic Womb also resonated with me, perfectly reflecting the uniqueness and depth of the sounds she produces.

Solution

I was inspired by Suzanne's use of repeating sounds in her music, so I chose a background graphic that mirrors this repetition. The typography also echoes this concept, reinforcing the rhythmic and cyclical nature of her work.
