Villa-Lobos

This poster is dedicated to the most important Brazilian composer, Heitor Villa-Lobos.

The coloured stripes use “Brazilian colours” as main palette. The halftone image is used to dissolve dark into high tones, transforming the coloured stripes into Villa-Lobos portrait, leaving the paper itself as pure light. The typography is based on Helvetica’s Ultra Light stencil version, which I designed for this poster. The name pops from the bottom to the top direction, through several semi-transparent steps, besides a very representative paragraph about his composition style and creative processes.
