Chicago Symphony Center Poster Series
Mozart Coronation Mass · Don Quixote · Lang Lang and The Firebird
This project explores how music can be translated into visual rhythm using abstracted form. Each poster takes cues from the tone and structure of its featured piece—using color, form, and typography to echo what the music feels like rather than what it literally is.
I treated each design like a visual performance: layering geometric shapes, gradients, and grids to create a sense of motion and harmony. The type plays a big role—it shifts in scale and weight to mimic the tempo and dynamics of the music.
Mozart Coronation Mass feels calm and regal, built around symmetry and cool blues.
Don Quixote is warmer and more fluid, full of circular movement and sunlight tones.
Lang Lang and The Firebird bursts with contrast and energy, using red and gold to capture its fiery intensity.
Together, they form a connected visual system that balances structure and emotion—each one distinct, but still part of the same orchestral “family.”
