Day 65: Psychedelic

Psychedelic posters of the 1960s, especially from San Francisco’s concert scene, broke every rule of legibility. Artists like Wes Wilson and Victor Moscoso used vibrating colours, flowing hand-drawn lettering and dense, ornate forms. The poster asked to be stared at — reading it was part of the experience.

Objective. Explore expressive legibility and vibrating colour.

Design a poster for an immersive light-and-sound installation using psychedelic principles.

• Do not reproduce or trace an existing poster — use the principles, not the artefacts
• Flowing, hand-drawn or warped lettering
• Vibrating colour combinations
• The title must be decipherable with effort

• Clearly psychedelic principles
• Expressive, original lettering
• Ultimately decipherable

Fit the lettering into a specific shape, filling every gap.
