This is a poster design by Mico Toldeo (Music Philosophy) he is an artist
that works in London. He takes song lyrics from lots of genres of music and
choosing significant lyrics from those different songs. He is very unique in
what he does. The understanding of his work is that he uses the same sort of
technique throughout his designs, creating a more appealing insight to the
lyrics.
The aesthetics of this design is all about the colour and the chosen
lyrics from Elton John - Your Song. The use of
white text and red background compensates very well together and the white
bounces off the red to stands out very well. Also the text is very relevant to
the song I feel. The song lyrics that have be chosen are very powerful and the
styles of all capital letters suit it very well.
Toldeo also
creates a picture for you with the lyrics, by adding little images or something
relating to the song. For this poster he has added an apple; that could be
there to represent the world. Also lines have been added to make the poster
more appealing.
In my opinion, this isn't my favourite design by him
only because the font doesn't really stand out. However the design really works well with the song lyrics aswell as the colour connection. All in all Toldeo work is very inspiring to look at and has given me a few ideas to start my Personal Project.
Whereas this is my favourite designs by Mico, this is because of the use of different colours all combined together to get a really unique effect and I love the lyrics that have been used. Hopefully I will be able to create something like this for my final outcome.
You have mentioned that this isn't your favourite design - which is? why didn't you analyse this? Also as you have mentioned and made comparisons to his other designs it would be good to include some other examples. Think about the style of font and use of shapes - the bit at the top for example looks like a rainbow - does this relate to the lyrics? that sort of thing!
