Pixies Music Calendars
Calendar Posters
Overview
This project drew its inspiration from the iconic 4AD Studio, renowned for their intuitive, odd and spontaneous approach to designing album covers for the band the Pixies. Emulating their style, I avoided extensive sketching and ideation, instead allowing the music to guide my creative process. Immersing myself in their songs, I let my intuition steer the creation of original imagery, born from my own drawings and photographs. For each poster, I delved into a single Pixies song that struck a chord with me, using specific lyrics as my muse and being sure each design was uniquely different from one another. The outcome is a collection of fun, abstract works, each a testament to the power of intuitive creativity.
