This poster was made for an project given by Bart de Baets. Based on a chosen song my collegues had to create each four different materials ( 4/5 small imagery, 1 big imagery, typography based artwork, small text or a qoute) for the poster I in the end have created.
Sideline Story by J.Cole
I like to think that the way I look at things are often different. The same goes for this song. Altho I have mixed feelings I often listen to this particular song when I feel down, sad or sometimes “funerable” because this song makes me think and get out of that fase. With funerable I mean when I am in a fase where I worry about something or someone. While the song isn’t necessarily about what I want it to be about, it is giving me a certain feeling and what I take from it every time is more important to me that what it actually means. I already know that this song will not be having the same meaning to someone else so that is a big reason why I don’t sing this song out loud. It sounds a bit dark and sad, but it reminds me of somethings I experienced.
Listening to this song to me is a way of saying things I normally won’t say because it is not the who I am. For that reason I find it comforting.
