TEXTURE SUMMIT POSTER SERIES

Project Background

Texture Summit runs monthly events and with each comes a new line-up, a new space, a new sound. The visual language is shaped to move with that, not a system but a structure that can adapt.

Some posters are stripped back. Others are built piece by piece. What unifies them is a focus on typographic rhythm, visual texture and the push-pull between form and noncompliance.

Creative Direction

The work draws from a mix of references of found photographs, technical diagrams, art history and moments from the everyday. Each piece carries its own tone, but still sits within the wider direction of the brand.

Outcome

The result is a long-running design system and relationship shaped by instinct and repetition. It changes with the artists, the sound, and the place, while remaning consistent in its attitude.
