The purpose of this project was to create a poster that related to both a song and a graphic designer from the 20th century. The song chosen for this project was “Boredom” by Tyler, The Creator; and the chosen graphic designer was Saul Bass. The target audience is fans of Tyler, The Creator. The design of the poster should relate back to both “Boredom” and Saul Bass. “Boredom” is about making the time for other people as well as using time wisely. The song has a warm ambiance, with use of sounds like a bright electric guitar and synthesizers. These bright, fluttery, sounds are juxtaposed with heavy bass and drums. Saul Bass is known for having more of a simplistic, blocky, style. Often times his work will also have a brightly colored background. The style of Saul Bass is perfect for “Boredom.” The blocky style seen in many of his works is great for representing the bass and drums; and the brightly colored background is great for representing the warmth of the synthesizers, vocals, and guitar. Within the final design itself there are many different ideas present. The flower has a very blocky, Saul-Bass style stem, which is supposed to be remeniscent of the arm in his poster for the movie “The Man With The Golden Arm.” The rest of the flower is done with rounded shapes and is much less blocky. This represents the more fluid sounds that lie on top of the bass and drums in the song. The idea of the flower comes from the album “Boredom” can be found on; titled “Flower Boy.” The clock on the inside of the flower relates specifically to the song “Boredom” which has time as a motif. The leaves within the clock continue the flower imagery and serve as the hands of the clock. The font used is called DoubleBass and is very remeniscent of fonts used by Saul Bass himself. The color palette is inspired by the color palette of the album cover itself, as well as the warm sounds that can be found in the song. One final part of the composition is that the flower itself is centered within the page; this is also something that can be found in many of Saul Bass’ works. The final output of this project will be a printed poster. The design does a good job of combining both the influences from “Boredom” and Saul Bass in a way that feels unified, yet is still original to this project.
