Man of the Woods (JT) | Typographical Project

•

This project that began in early February was based around the idea of creating a typographical poster that promotes the new Justin Timberlake album Man of the Woods (mainly produced by Timberlake, Pharrell, and Timbaland) by the way of incorporating a visual style that pays homage to the Americana-country music scene, by the way of it’s colour palette, choice of font, and style of layout.

As you will see, the final outcome consists of text that fills the entire canvas, with the inclusion of simple nature-based illustrations to help create a more formal but slightly abstract effect. Not only that, but specific colour choices to help assert hierarchy within the text have also been used, alongside a grain texture for a more grittier less-clean look, as well as a wild western font that pushes the Americana homage that little further.

For the display mockup, the final outcome has been placed within a collectors-styled frame with a backdrop consisting of three separate colours that all-in-all help create an environment that the frame itself can rest against, without the feeling of it appearing out of place (this is particularly important, considering the album’s natural great-outdoors inspired theme).

So, be sure to tell me what you think in the comment section below!

This is a non-commercial project.
